Strathmore, which has been named as Official Partner of the championships, will be supplying its water to hydrate around 3,000 athletes expected to compete in venues across Scotland between 2nd and 12th August, as well as officials, staff, volunteers and medical teams on the ground.
Strathmore, Glasgow 2018 and Glasgow City Council are working together to ensure the Games are as environmentally-friendly as possible. There will be over 500 recycling bins distributed across venues to encourage the recycling of all Strathmore water bottles consumed at the Championships along with other recyclable waste.
Jonathan Kemp, Commercial Director at A.G.Barr, says: “We’re incredibly proud of the work that Strathmore does to encourage more people to take part in sport as part of its Do More campaign, so to be the Official Water of Glasgow 2018 European Championships, a multi-sport event which will engage and inspire so many people, highlights our ongoing investment and commitment to all levels of sport.”
