Ask and you shall receive...Accel Gel!

Many of you have inquired about it, and we now carry Accel Gel!With its unique 4:1 carbohydrate to protein formula, clinical studies support the claim that Accel Gel extends endurance, speeds muscle recovery, and provides more energy that most gels. Available in Chocolate, Strawberry Kiwi, Vanilla, and Citrus Orange.
(We also carry GU, Carb BOOM, and Hammer gel, Clif Shot Bloks, Sharkies, and Sport Beans!)

Congratulations to our local Chicago Marathon Finishers!

HAMMER the pavement, then HEED the call!

(and pardon the puns!)
Hammer Nutrition is the new sponsor of our Saturday Hydration Station! We will be at the southern head of the American Tobacco Trail (close to Southpoint Crossing at Fayetteville Rd & Highway 54). Stop by anytime between 8:00(ish) and 10:00am to replenish your electrolytes. We'll have HEED and HAMMER GEL on hand for you to sample.
