The first-of-its-kind, caffeine-free athletic
gel drink returns to the San Francisco Marathon, while debuting at
the Barracuda Championship
IRVINE,
Calif., July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Chargel®, a first-of-its-kind, delicious Gel Drink that
delivers convenient and delightfully unexpected instant pre-workout
energy before any workout with zero caffeine, today announced
its July competitive race station lineup. Chargel will be
showcasing its half drink, half snack, all delicious energy source
at the 2024 San Francisco Marathon and the Barracuda
Championship.
The 2024 Barracuda Championship tees off on July 18 through July 21 at Tahoe Mountain Club's
Old Greenwood course in Truckee,
CA. Situated on 600 acres of forest and meadowland
surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Jack Nicklaus
Signature Golf Course is the ideal backdrop for the Barracuda
Championship. More than most courses, Old Greenwood's 18-hole
course is influenced by the surrounding landscape with rolling
green grass, lush trees, and beautiful water features.
On July 28, over 30,000 runners
will participate in the San Francisco Marathon, taking in
breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay from the Golden Gate
Bridge. As an official sponsor of the San Francisco Marathon,
Chargel will be providing on-course samples as runners pass through
iconic parks, areas, and neighborhoods, including Fisherman's
Wharf, the Marina Green, Presidio, Golden Gate Park, and the
Mission District, before finishing under the Bay Bridge.
"We're particularly excited for our July race lineup as we
return to one of our favorite courses, the San Francisco Marathon,
and have our debut at the Barracuda Championship," said
Teruhiro Kawabe, President of
Morinaga America, Inc. "From marathon running to golf, Chargel was
designed for all types of athletes as its caffeine-free gel gives
athletes a pre- and mid-exercise energy boost. We're eager to
revisit the success of last year's San Francisco Marathon and
introduce Chargel to a new audience at Truckee's Barracuda Championship!"
