Before
Train with the same fuel you’ll race with. No surprises on the day.

On the course

Questions
Will there be gels on the course?
Yes — Maple Ignite at all three water stations, 2,500 across the course. Treat them as a top-up and carry your own: one gel 30 minutes before the start, then one every 30 minutes, swapping in one Maple Coffee an hour from halfway.
Will these upset my stomach?
Real maple, not synthetic gloop — most runners find them gentle, even with a sensitive stomach. Trial them in training to be sure.
Will collagen help by race day?
No — it’s a daily habit, not a quick fix. Connective tissue adapts over weeks and months. Start now and keep going.
Any allergens?
Run Easy is marine collagen, derived from fish — not suitable with a fish or shellfish allergy. Our gels, electrolytes and Power Up contain none of the 14 allergens that must be declared.
