We will have 2 bottle fill up tables for the bike portion of the Half Iron Distance race and 4 water tables on the run portion of the race. (we will have Gatorade, Heed and Water at these tables) The run is a 2 lap course and racers will be passing the water tables two times, so there will be 8 chances to get water on the 13.1 mile run

We will have some Gatorade bars at water tables and fruit on the bike race. Some Hammer Gel and energy bars will be offered to racers.
