Hey All,

Drinks (Other than water) are being supplied by PowerBar this year. I emailed them to find out whats on offer, heres the reply I got:

The products sampled on course are the following:
Drinks sampled on every drink station is our Energize Sports Drink in all 3 flavours (orange, lemon, berry)
There will also be one Gel station around km 30 where all our six PowerBar Gel Flavours (Black Currant, Green Apple, Lemon Lime, Tropical Fruit, Strawberry-Banana, Vanilla)

Not entirely sure what 'Drinks Sampled' means - Perhaps a bad translation?

Anyways - I was impressed with the detailed reply.

Think I'll stock up on gels at 30km and stuff em in my pocket to take home! )

Off for a 5m tonight, 15 miler Sunday...Knee is recovering slowly, just trying to keep the fitness up between now and the race.

Noticed some talk about pens/start times and arrival times - Where did you all find this info? I have my starters PDF - Is it on there?

Cheers, and again - Good luck!

Simon

Hey All,

 Just been  reading through the PDF Marathon guide, which is excellent and well worth downloading/printing.

I have a question - The guide says the drinks stations offer Water, PowerBar and Tea (!?)

Does anyone know what Powerbar product? I would like to try them on a run before the race...just in case of problems...in which case I can then take my own refreshments/fuel.

Tar!

Simon.

PS: Does TEA really mean TEA? Surely no ones going to stop for a nice cuppa mid-race!?
