London Marathon Events and GetPRO announce major three-year partnership

London Marathon Events (LME) announced a major three-year partnership with GetPRO across four of its mass participation events, including the TCS London Marathon.

GetPRO is now the Official Yoghurt Partner of the TCS London Marathon and the TCS London Marathon MyWay, as well as the Brighton Marathon and The Big Half, from 2025 to 2027. 

GetPRO was also announced as the Official Title Partner of the Bath Half, which was acquired by LME earlier this year. 

The GetPRO Bath Half opens LME’s 2025 spring season of events on Sunday 16 March, followed in April by the Brighton Marathon Weekend and the TCS London Marathon. 

More than 100,000 participants have now started their new year Training Plans for these events and LME’s partnership with GetPRO will ensure they get the very best information on nutrition and how to eat right and recover well. 

An essential part of half-marathon or marathon training is ensuring you recover well between training sessions or events, and getting enough protein is key for this. Designed for people who want to get more out of their training, the GetPRO range features eleven high-protein snacks including delicious and healthy yoghurts, drinks, puddings, pouches and mousses. With added Magnesium and Vitamin B9, GetPRO can support recovery of muscle and reduction of fatigue.*  

Tom Hickton, Category Director Dairy at Danone, said: “Since our launch in the UK in September 2023, GetPRO’s ambition has been to support everyone as they progress on their fitness journey, which is why we’re so excited to become the Official Yoghurt Partner of the TCS London Marathon, Brighton Marathon and The Big Half, plus the Title Partner of the Bath Half. Whether you're running the marathon or taking inspiration from the thousands of runners taking on the challenge, GetPRO emphasizes the importance of the moments between active exercise. It's not just about training; it's about getting the right nutrition, building strength, and recovering well. With guidance from a team of experts, GetPRO will help guide participants of this year’s events through build-up to race day, sharing their insights on how to maximise moments in between those all-important runs and celebrating the small victories along the journey, not just the big milestones.”
