iPRO at The Bournemouth University Colour Run 2021

On September the 29th, a gathering of spirited Bournemouth University students took part in the much-anticipated BU Colour Run 2021. Held at the 65-acre Chapel Gate sports facility, recently purchased by Bournemouth University, BU Colour Run 2021 brought together the student community in a colourful celebration of fitness and wellbeing.

Students were doused in an array of coloured powder as they bounded towards the finishing line, with bottles of iPRO Hydrate - Sport Edition at hand to rehydrate them when they arrived.

As published by UCL, physically active university students tend to have strengthened cognitive performance, better concentration, increased energy levels and lifted mood. Labelled as the convenient caffeinated pick-me-up, energy drinks are often the classic go-to for replacing these benefits of physical activity.

Hydration drinks enriched with vitamins and electrolytes are a healthier way for students to boost their mental performance. Especially when preparing for exam seasons. iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition is a low-sugar caffeine-free hydration drink with added vitamin C and B vitamins to support cognitive function and energy-releasing metabolism.

Chris Payne, Campus Sports Manager, spoke about the event:

"Wednesday 29th September 2021 saw the second Bournemouth University Colour Run, after the success of the 2019 run. We expected lots of colour, powder, fun, and activities in a bigger and improved event from last time! SportBU, supported by ReslifeBU, delivered the run for over 100 students from BU. The 3-kilometre course at The Bournemouth University Sports Campus, Chapel Gate, which takes in a variety of terrains and scenery, was the coloured spectacle and launch activity for the event with activities, sports tasters and refreshments which followed! iPRO proudly supported this event with their healthy hydration drinks, helping to keep students hydrated and fuelled throughout the day!”

Charlotte Taylor, iPRO Partnerships and Operations Manager, also commented:

“We’re delighted to support Bournemouth University Students at this year’s Colour Run in order to keep participants hydrated at the finish line with our iPRO Hydrate – Sport Edition range. It’s fantastic to see student life getting back to normal, particularly through initiatives that enhance an active lifestyle. Well done to everyone taking part!”
