The race day is approaching, here's what you'll find at the refreshment stations along the course! Use this valuable information to create a strategy that considers water, supplements, and food provided at the stations (how, when, and if to use them) along with what you want to bring from home.
First and foremost, let's give a big collective round of applause to the members of the running groups who will not only be spectators at the event but also voluntary helpers at the refreshment stations for the competing runners.
