FASTER. STRONGER. FOR LONGER.

Whatever motivates you to pull on your trainers and do the miles, Lucozade Sport is here to help you get the most out of your Virgin London Marathon journey.

Lucozade has partnered the Virgin London Marathon for 11 years and with all those miles under our belt, we know what it takes to cross the finish line in glory.

With your running as our priority we have a range of products to fuel you, hydrate you and aid your recovery – making sure you get the results you want from the 26.2 miles.

 

Hydration and nutrition can make or break your marathon but the good news - it's easy to get it right.

When it comes to race day, we are with you from start to finish, topping up your energy levels on-course.

Lucozade Sport Body Fuel, in an easy to carry 330ml bottle, can be found at miles 5, 10, 15, 19 and 23. We recommend you carry the bottle while you run, sipping slowly.

This year we’ll be back again with our Lucozade Sport Carbo Gels at miles 14 and 21 to help you get the fuel you need, when you need it.

Remember, fuel sustains performance so make sure you keep your energy levels topped up to go faster, stronger, for longer.
