There are 17 Fluid Stations along the course, supplying Gatorade Lemon Lime Endurance Formula® at the first set of tables and non-carbonated water at the second set of tables. We will also feature CLIF SHOTS (Strawberry, Citrus, and Mocha flavors) at approximately miles 15.5 and 20.5.
Check out the full map and ½ map with the fluid and gel Stations listed. And, if you’re worried about spilling the water or Gatorade Lemon Lime Endurance Formula® all over yourself while running and drinking, check out this Training Talk video for a pro tip.
Each station will also have several porta-potties not too far from the tables if you need to make a pit stop. And if you’re worried about not being able to find one or standing in line, check out a few pointers we have in Tip #4 here.
