July Course Connection 2024 👟

Through the Eyes of a 50-State Marathoner

GATORADE ENDURANCE:

Grounded in Science

Think all hydration & nutrition products are the same? Think again. Gatorade Endurance products were developed after decades of research by top scientists at the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI). Their 2:1 glucose:fructose blend helps the body maximize carbohydrate absorption while minimizing GI distress meaning you can go farther without bonking or upsetting your stomach. Better training adds up to a better performance on race day. So, train and race with products grounded in science from Gatorade Endurance.

As the Official Hydration Partner of the Fox Cities Marathon we’re proud to have Gatorade Endurance Formula available for you on-course at every aid station. Don’t just fuel – fuel to unlock your best!
