NEW YORK:
Milk run the '26.2 You're Gonna Need Milk for That' campaign in an effort to support and sponsor every woman running the marathon over the weekend.
As in real dairy milk, the Milk proudly returned to New York bringing back.
As part of the campaign's unparalleled support for Team Milk runners before, during and after the race, Milk surprised runners after the finish line with the electrifying presence of Janelle Monáe at the Team Milk VIP Recovery Lounge.
The music icon helped female runners celebrate the incredible accomplishment of running a marathon with an empowering DJ set within the VIP Recovery Lounge which also featured professional stretchers from NY Stretch, compression boots, recovery gear and chocolate milk to help repair and rebuild their muscles.
This on-site marathon presence in New York marked a continuation of the program's Sponsorship Tour, which started last year in New York and has continued to expand into a community of more than 14,000 Team Milk participants.
From pre-race shakeout runs in Central Park led by certified run coach Alysha Flynn and Sad Girl Track Club's Izzy Seidel, expert advice along their training trip, curated race-ready gifts, and a community focused IRL expo experience, Milk provided support at every mile along the way.
"Milk is dedicated to championing the strength and resilience of every woman," said MilkPEP CEO Yin Woon Rani. "We were excited to join forces with Janelle Monáe to help commend these encouraging female athletes on achieving an accomplishment of a lifetime."
For every woman that signs up for Team Milk, it has committed to donating to Girls on the Run, a group dedicated to empowering girls through running and physical activity. Milk's 'Every. To-date Milk has helped generate $1,000,000 in fundraising.
Whether you're training for your first marathon or tackling your 30th, any female runner can sign up to be a part of Team Milk at the site to gain exclusive access to female-centric marathon training, recovery, and nutrition guides from leading experts, custom gear and an empowering community of women runners.
Literally, along the marathon route, Milk created a milky white tunnel of motivation with a Cheer Squad between mile 23 and 24 - the hardest part of the course to help power runners forward when they need it most.
Milk's nutrients can help give sustained energy to fuel runs, rehydrate and rebuild muscles, and help prevent next day muscle soreness as Dairy milk is an excellent nutritional partner for both marathon training and recovery.
