Marathon fueling isn’t something you figure out on race morning.
It starts well before the starting line.

We teamed up with Dr. Allen Lim, co-founder of Skratch Labs and one of the leading voices in endurance nutrition, to break down a simple, effective approach to fueling your San Francisco Marathon.

Here’s the breakdown:

📅 1 week out: Increase carbohydrate intake (8–10g per kg body weight) + stay hydrated
🏁 Pre-race: Top off with fluids, electrolytes, and carbohydrates before the start
🥤 During: Keep it simple, sip consistently, and fuel to maintain steady energy
🍬 If energy dips: Top up with quick carbs to stay ahead of the bonk

On course, Skratch Labs will be there to support you every step of the way:
Aid stations will feature Lemon Lime Sport Drink Mix, along with Orange and Grape Energy Chews to help keep you hydrated and fueled through every mile.

Fueling doesn’t need to be complicated.
It just needs to be practiced.

Save this for race day and start dialing your fueling strategy now.

Bonking isn’t random. It’s usually from underfueling.

When you’re running long distances, think in three parts:

🍌 Carbohydrates → energy
🧂 Sodium → helps your body hold onto fluid
💧 Fluids → replace sweat loss

A simple place to start:
→ ~20g of carbs per 500ml bottle
→ drink to thirst

From there, adjust based on what you notice.

Still running out of energy? You may need more carbs.

Finishing runs dehydrated? You may need more sodium.

You can build from there by:
🍬 adding skratch energy chews
⚡️ using skratch sport drink mix
🚀 or combining both

If you’re running the San Francisco Marathon, Skratch will be on course to help keep you fueled through the miles.

Race day has enough unknowns.
Fueling shouldn’t be one of them.
