We know everyone has their favorite gels and foods when they run. So, this year we have enhanced our water station selections to give you all a variety of options and choices to support your race experience and personal preference.
This year we are offering GU, HAMMER to both the marathoners and halfers. We have the brand new HUMA gel, on course at water station 7, for our Marathoners to try. Our electrolyte drinks also have been enhanced with greater variety. Some stations will have GuBrew, Hammer Heed, or flat Coke, and many stations will have a selection of fruit and cookies. All stations will have water.
