Distribution with the event.

transporting them from the Birkenhead Park starting line to the city's Pier
Head for collection at the finish.

located along the course are stocked with the tens of thousands of bottles
required by runners for refreshment during the long distance race.

Bibby Distribution's Development Director, Paul Byrne commented:

"It's great to be able work in partnership with a high-profile
international running event such as the RunLiverpool Marathon. The scale
and complexity of October's race has demanded professional and effective
logistics support, and we are delighted that the event organisers have
recognised that Bibby Distribution's levels of service will meet their
requirements."
