Vancouver, BC – January 23, 2015 – Vancouver’s favourite Irish pub, Mahony & Sons, voted Best Pub Fare by Where to Dine Vancouver, has stepped up to quench the thirst of BMO Vancouver Marathon runners and offer other food services to guests at the event in 2015.

All registered BMO Vancouver Marathon runners will receive a complimentary beer, wine or non-alcoholic beverage at any Mahony & Sons restaurant. With locations at UBC, Stamps Landing False Creek, and Burrard Landing at Coal Harbour’s waterfront, registrants may redeem their free beverage throughout the month of May with a voucher received in runners’ race packages.

“We’re very excited to be able to offer these kinds of benefits to BMO Vancouver Marathon runners,” says Mike Mahony, of Mahony & Sons. “We’ve been involved in the event since 2012 and are pleased to take this next step in becoming the Official Pub Partner for 2015. Each spring we get thousands of local and international BMO Vancouver Marathon runners visiting our pubs/restaurants and we’re thrilled to be able to reward and congratulate them with a free beverage.”

In addition, Mahony & Sons will supply catering at the Finish Line Hospitality Tent for Platinum runners, Legacy Club runners and all VIP members. They will also host the annual Exhibitor Night Reception kicking off marathon weekend on April 30th, as well as a Run4Hope Charity reception at the Burrard Landing location.

“We are delighted to work with Mahony & Sons on a higher level this year,” says Charlene Krepiakevich, Executive Director of the Vancouver International Marathon Society, the non-profit that organizes the BMO Vancouver Marathon.

“Some of these benefits have never been provided to our runners before and we are excited to offer a toast or cheer in celebration of their hard work and achievements. As a world-class marathon that has been ranked in the top ten by CNN and Forbes, the event gains more sponsor interest each year. We are grateful to Mahony & Sons and our other partners for bringing energy and spirit to the BMO Vancouver Marathon.”
