So…. What’s on the menu at the Knee Knacker aid stations this year?
Lots.
Take a look at the chart below and you will notice a whole variety of food and drink to fuel you towards the finish line this year.
Plus, when you arrive at some of these stations on race day, you might also notice their own treats have been added to keep you motivated, energized and excited to keep pushing onwards!
A very special thanks go to our sponsors – Nesters, Clif Bar and Hammer Nutrition for helping supply our stations!
