GLEUKOS SPORTS DRINK HELPS HYDRATE AND ELEVATE PERFORMANCE AT THE 2007 PORTLAND MARATHON
Competitive athletes, disciples of distance, addicts of speed, and those active in health and fitness, rejoice: a superior sports drink – one that delivers natural energy faster and doesn’t just hydrate, but elevates performance – has arrived, adding excitement on and off the course as the hydration sponsor of the Portland Marathon on Sunday, October 7, 2007.
There are a lot of individuals who have been training hard and fueling with Gleukos in preparation for this year’s Portland Marathon. Gleukos is the preferred performance beverage of PortlandFit, the official training group for the Portland Marathon, and continues to fuel runners on many of the Portland Marathon Clinic training runs. The team at Gleukos won’t let them down when it comes to the big day! Gleukos will be offered to the marathoners at aid stations throughout the Portland Marathon course and the finish line, keeping everyone hydrated and energized.
Gleukos sports drink fuels all interested in health/fitness, not just marathon runners. “We’re here to help everyone achieve their personal best” says Gleukos founder and Chairman Mark Jensen, a life-long runner and competitive marathoner who wasn’t satisfied with traditional sports drinks and set out to create the drink that would make him a better runner.
He found the answer in glucose – the fastest way to deliver energy to a body in motion. Most other sports drinks contain fructose and sucrose, which are slow to absorb and can lead to the dreaded “stomach funk”. Athletes who drink Gleukos before, during or after workouts can easily see and feel the many differences between Gleukos and other sports drinks. Gleukos provides nearly instant energy when athletes need it most.
In addition to glucose, Gleukos offers optimized electrolyte levels with triple the potassium (typically lacking in one’s daily diet) and lowered sodium (typically overabundant in one’s daily diet). The result is a crisp, clean taste, and the drinks’ clear color reflects its natural ingredients.
Gleukos sports drink will be available on and off the course. Come try Gleukos at the Sports & Fitness Expo on Friday, September 29 or stop in at one of our local retail partners any time: Gleukos sports drink is available in multiple flavors in an all-natural dry mix and ready-to-drink at local running stores such as Portland Running Company and Fit Right Northwest, and at grocery stores such as Zupan’s Market, Haggen, QFC, and Thriftway, and nationally at www.gleukos.com.
