On Wednesday the 21st January, we hosted a Maurten race nutrition workshop! This was quite a unique event compared to other events we hosted with brands we stock because it was more educational, focusing around race day fuelling, rather than trialling product. Saying that everyone who attended did leave with some Maurten freebies!
A big thank you to Alice from Maurten for delivering the workshop and answering everyone’s sports nutrition questions! We started the event with a social 5k run around the harbour. This run was only for the brave as it was a very wet and windy evening but we had around 20 people join us for the run before returning to the shop for the workshop.
A lot more people showed up for the workshop and we had close to 50 people in attendance which was great. Alice gave a talk about race day nutrition focusing on how to fuel before, during and after an endurance event with a specific focus on spring half marathons and marathons. Following this we had an open discussion and Q&A so everyone could ask Alice any specific questions they had. This allowed everyone to develop a race day nutrition strategy for their upcoming events.
As Alice is from Maurten she also gave an overview of the brand and the specific products they produce delving into how each one works and can be used in both racing and training. She broke down the science behind this industry-leading sports fuel company that is based on natural ingredients and used by some of the world’s top athletes. Everyone received a free goody bag of Maurten products to test at home and see if this could be their fuel of choice for upcoming races!
Founded to make sports nutrition products that are easier to consume and less likely to cause stomach issues during high-intensity exercise, Maurten is a sports fuel company for endurance sports based on natural ingredients for energy, hydration and recovery.
The Swedish brand is know for its patented Hydrogel Technology which encapsulates carbohydrates into a gel structure for easier digestion and high energy intake during exercise. By combining scientific research with real-world feedback from collaboration with universities and elite athletes, including world record holders, Maurten has rapidly gained a strong reputation for quality and reliability making them the nutrition brand of choice for many athletes.
Maurten is a very reputatble and high-end sports nutrition brand that use the best quality ingredients with their products undergoing substantial testing. Because of this they are very selective with their distribution and only want a select number of retailers they trust to stock and sell their product.

Once again thank you very much to both Maurten and to everyone who attended our Maurten Race Nutrition Workshop. Kinisi Run Hub are proud to work with such a great brand and support so many amazing local athletes!
