- Who it's for
- Endurance athletes — ultra runners, ski tourers, and long-day adventurers — who want a low-sweetness electrolyte mix with light carbs. The single-serve packets suit mid-race or mid-tour refills when carrying bulk isn't practical.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the balanced electrolyte-to-carb ratio (20g carbs/serving), mild flavor, and not-too-sweet taste. The Apple Cider flavor is specifically called out as best served hot, making it a cold-weather standout.
- Worth noting
- Apple Cider is a seasonal flavor; hosts note it shines hot in a flask, not as an everyday option. Other flavors (lemon-lime, fruit punch) are flagged as better all-season picks.

Every training run and race includes some Skratch hydration. Balanced electrolytes, natural, mild, delicious flavors and a few carbs (20g per serving)

A hydration mix that isn't too sweet.

Tom Hanlon, Ultramarathon Athlete
During training, I'll buy this same product in bulk bags, but I love having the individual servings which makes it super easy for my crew to fill bottles during the race. This is one of the few electrolyte mixes which I never get sick of the flavor. It's not super sweet tasting, so it stays refreshing in a long effort

The Scratch single-serve packets are a great option for longer runs so you can add your favorite flavor to a flask of filtered water mid-race.

When touring, I'm almost always drinking an electrolyte mix. Don't wait until you are sweaty and dehydrated. If you are proactive with your electrolytes, you'll absolutely notice an improvement in performance over the course of the day.

Pacers and crew members forget to hydrate constantly because they’re focused on the runner. Then suddenly everyone feels terrible. Bring more hydration than you think you need.

i dump a little of this in all my soft flasks (with the carbs fuel drink mix). i like keeping my electrolytes separate from my carbs so i can adjust the ratio as the day goes on!

A good blend of carbs and salt, it's not too sweet and perfect for endurance days.

I've been using Skratch sport hydration as my electrolytes for as long as I've been an ultra runner. It's the perfect ratio of carbs to sodium and tastes great!!
