Can you eat bananas - a fantastic source of carbs and great energy boost, dates do a good job too, I love fresh ones or medijool but any kind do a the same job.

Make flapjacks using gluten free oats or a porridge substitute. Have you spoken to the coeliac society and consulted your handbook?
I'm not coeliac but my son is (along with lots of other food intolerances)

Organix do various corn based snacks. They are found in the baby food aisle.

Some great snacks out there for us coeliacs but I have abit of toast and honey mid morning if peckish. Eat well bars are nice too. Nuts and raisins great too. Make some cakes or apple flapjacks. Make enough for the week.

My other half also has to stick to a gluten free diet so we have found a good range of different snacks that she can have, here are some (not sure if all are perfect for a runners diet though); frozen grapes, nuts, hard boiled eggs, popcorn (made yourself with no butter etc), tomatoes (or tomato juice), sliced veggies, chickpeas, seeds (pumpkin etc) and I found a Gluten free beer that she enjoys occasionally - http://www.purenature24.co.uk/shop/a2061/schnitzerbrau-gluten-free-beer-24-pack.html
