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

This in the hot apple cider flavor hot in a hot flask is the only thing that I’ll drink to stay hydrated.

A hydration mix that isn't too sweet.

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.

Recommended in Broken Arrow 46k
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.

The electrolyte mix I've used for years! The lemon/lime flavor tastes like a subtle lemonade. Can drink it for hours (or 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!!
