What to Eat and Drink
We will have aid stations at approximately Miles 3, 7.5, and 11.5, with water at every stop.  We are planning on having Skratch products on hand as well.

Having said that, please bring your own fuel as you need.  We recommend water or sports drinks that have electrolytes and sodium, with whatever snacks you will find helpful. 
 
This race takes place at high altitude, so please be sure to hydrate in the days before traveling to Northern Arizona – and be sure to hydrate in the 24 hours before the race. 

We recommend drinking not just water but sports drinks and/or fruit drinks to ensure that you have sodium, sugars, and electrolytes in your system. (As you can tell, we want to guard against hyponatremia on race day, which can be caused by taking in too much water for the system to handle.)
 
Common advice is to ensure that you nourish yourself with complex carbohydrates, healthy proteins, and healthy fats (while some suggest that you ensure bringing in additional iron when running at altitude). 

You know your GI tract better than we do, so we will leave it to you to ensure that you have the fuels that you need. For example, one of our athletes brings sushi with him on long runs, but that may not work for all of you . . .
