Marathon Drinks

Hydration is key to optimal performance on race day. During a marathon, we recommend sipping water or a sports drink every 15 to 20 minutes to ensure proper hydration. OTE marathon drinks replenish lost electrolytes, helping the body perform at an optimal level for longer.

Pre- and post-race hydration shouldn’t be overlooked. Ensure you drink fluids up to two hours before your race to optimise hydration, and regularly hydrate after the finish line to support recovery.

Water is the foundation of hydration, but OTE marathon drinks do much more than simply resupply fluid lost through sweating. They also contain carbohydrates and electrolytes, both of which are spent during exercise and are key to fuelling optimal performance.

Carbohydrates are the energy source that powers the body, so replenishing them ensures you can run harder for longer. Electrolytes are lost through sweat, and resupplying these efficiently allows muscles and nerves to continue operating at a high level.
