Aid Stations on Marathon Course
There will be more than 20 aid stations along the course. All stations will provide water and Gatorade Endurance Formula to runners, and some stations will provide sliced oranges.
Gatorade Endurance Formula on Course This Year!
Gatorade Endurance Formula (Lemon-Lime flavor) will be served at each aid station along the course of this year’s race.
Gatorade Endurance Formula is a specialized sports drink that contains approximately twice the amount of sodium (200 mg per 8 ounces) of Gatorade Thirst Quencher, along with chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium to help sustain hydration by more fully replacing what is lost in sweat. Gatorade Endurance Formula also contains a 6% carbohydrate solution (14 grams per 8 ounces), just like Gatorade Thirst Quencher, which research shows is optimal to help speed fluid back into the body and fuel working muscles.
Gatorade Endurance Formula is available in 34 ounce and 20 ounce sport bottles at major grocery and convenience stores nationwide. For more information about Gatorade Endurance Formula, please visit www.itsonthecourse.com.
