To find out how many bottles of water the runners drank, we can subtract the number of bottles left from the total number of bottles donated.

Total bottles donated: 750
Bottles left after the run: 89

Bottles drank = Total bottles - Bottles left
Bottles drank = 750 - 89
Bottles drank = 661

Therefore, the runners drank 661 bottles of water.
