EDMONTON POLICE SERVICE HALF MARATHON
Race weekend is already here
The EPS Half Marathon is September 19 at Kinsmen Park, with half-marathon, 10K and 5K starts. At this point, the useful plan is simple: prep without experimenting, perform with the routine you know, then recover well after the finish.
For longer sessions, warmer conditions or heavier sweating, a prepared electrolyte drink can be useful. For shorter or easier work, ordinary water and meals may be enough.

Best Hydrate uses glucose, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, citric acid and lemon powder. Prepared as directed, it contains 1 g of sugar per 100 mL.

PREP • PERFORM • RECOVER

PERFORM
Match fluid access to the distance, temperature, sweat and course support. Longer efforts generally create more hydration demand.
