- Who it's for
- Endurance athletes with high calorie demands — ultramarathon runners, 100+ mile racers — who struggle to eat solid food at high output or altitude. Works well for marathons and long runs when concentrated carb intake is the priority.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the light, mellow flavor and easy stomach tolerance even at high concentrations (200–400 calories per flask). One host notes it goes down without grittiness; another pairs it with electrolyte tablets to compensate for lower sodium content.
- Worth noting
- Flexible concentration — hosts use it anywhere from 200 to 400 calories per flask, scaling to individual needs. Low sodium means some users supplement with separate electrolytes.
Shelby Farrell's review
First race relying on Skratch High Carb, and it worked! I mostly ran a 300-calorie concentration, but I'll be bumping it up to 400 calories per flask next time. The flavor is mellow and actually tastes like real fruit. Somewhere around mile 70, it had me craving a bowl of cold raspberries.

Cody Poskin, Professional Ultrarunner and Hopeless Romantic
Sugar, Sugar, and more SUGAR! That's how you finish 200 mile races. The name says it all - Super high carb is the best drink mix on the market. It goes down easy, isnt gritty, and in general, makes me feel like a superhero.

Next Best Run, Kim Conley & Drew Wartenburg
This one is for the runners with really high carb needs on the run. It has 50g of carbs per serving. This is Kim's go-to for long runs and the marathon. She combines lemon lime with Precision Hydration tablets to boost the sodium content in her bottle.
