AdeNation® Hydration Drink
is for
Everyone Everyday.

Pre-hydration tips for the Coast Guard marathon, half marathon, and 5K race:

1. 4 days before the race drink two AdeNation packets sometime throughout each day

2. The day before the race drink three AdeNation packets: lunch, dinner, before bed

3. On race day put two AdeNation packets into a 16oz bottle of water or one AdeNation packet in 8oz. Start drinking the bottle about 90 minutes before the race and make sure you finish it 45 minutes before the start of the race.

4. Hydration stations will have AdeNation and will be placed throughout the course. Make sure to drink 4oz every 20-30 minutes during the race.

This is our recommendation, but everyone has a different body type, sweat rate, and pace. There is no one hydration protocol that fits all.

Coaches and parents need to be mindful that their adolescent athletes are properly hydrated because young athletes may not be aware of the guidelines for hydration.

Don’t over-hydrate

Forcing your body to drink large amounts of water throughout the day will wash out electrolytes, causing hyponatremia.
Over hydrating can increase the risk of heat illnesses.

Stay away or limit the consumption of caffeine, especially energy drinks!
