North West Cancer Research is the only independent charity dedicated to the North West’s cancer needs, funding pioneering research to tackle the cause, improve the care, and one day find the cure. Its Liverpool Chester Liverpool Bike Ride draws cyclists of all ages and abilities across Liverpool, the Wirral, and Chester. With thousands of riders on the road, hydration is a duty of care — and single-use plastic bottles weren’t the answer.
H2Origin deploys two units across the route, each matched to the conditions it serves. At Neston, where rider flow is steadier, a compact unit delivers 80 litres of chilled, filtered water per hour. At the busier Upton stop, H2Origin’s mobile high-capacity station handles surges in rider traffic at 280 litres per hour without compromising water temperature. Clean water, on demand, with no plastic in sight.
Now in its second year, the partnership has removed the need for bottled water at both stops without compromising the rider experience, whilst raising the event’s sustainability credentials. H2Origin’s support also contributes directly to NWCR’s fundraising mission.
