I'm running the New Forest Marathon on 17 September and have made contact with the race organiser to find out what energy drink will be available. I've been informed that there will be SIS available but probably only at one or two drinks stations towards the end. I'm really surprised about this - I would have thought, considering the distance involved, that these drinks would have been provided maybe at every other station (there are 11 of them). I really don't think it's sufficient as it stands. I'm not good with gels and was really hoping that I could run without having to carry anything at all - now it looks like I'll have to wear a drinks belt which is a real pain.
