Gleukos-Official Sports Drink
The VM Team Medicine Seafair Marathon is proud to partner with Gleukos Performce Beverages. Gleukos is energy for athletes--the body's perfect natural fuel for performance before, during and after sport. Unlike fructose and surcrose, which take time and energy for your body to break down, Gleukos is rapidily absorbed in the bloodstream. It goes straight to where the athlete's body needs it most to provide power, endurance and heightened concentration. Gleukos also provides the optimal balance of potassium and sodium needed to replenish electrolytes lost.

PCC Natural Markets
We would like to thank PCC Natural Markets for their partnership in providing organic post-race nourishment at the finish line.
