Chargel Energizes Race Stations in New York and California with November Events

In an exciting announcement, Chargel® is gearing up to amplify the energy of athletic events with its participation in the TCS New York City Marathon Expo and Bike the Coast in Southern California this November. Known for its unique gel drink that provides quick energy and essential B vitamins, Chargel aims to connect with athletes and outdoor enthusiasts at two of the most anticipated events in the running and cycling calendars.

On November 2, over 50,000 runners will take to the streets of New York City for the TCS New York City Marathon. As part of the festivities, Chargel will set up shop at the TCS New York City Marathon Expo, which runs from October 30 to November 1, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. This expo is one of the largest running expositions in the nation, featuring a plethora of vendors and engaging activations for race participants.

Expo attendees are encouraged to visit Chargel’s booth (611) to sample the refreshing gel drinks, which have become a staple for athletes seeking quick energy without the heaviness often associated with traditional energy bars. Chargel’s unique offering is well-suited for race day, ensuring that participants can maintain their stamina as they navigate through the marathon’s five boroughs.

Meanwhile, on November 1, Southern California will host Bike the Coast, an event that invites cyclists of all abilities to experience the stunning scenery along Highway 101. Chargel is excited to return to this event, providing cyclists with easy access to their refreshing gel drinks while they partake in the community and endurance festivities along the picturesque San Diego coastline.

“We’re thrilled to bring Chargel back to the East Coast for one of the world’s most celebrated races in New York,” said Teruhiro Kawabe, President of Morinaga America, Inc. “Participating in these events allows us to connect directly with dedicated runners and demonstrate how Chargel supports endurance from start to finish. Returning to Southern California for Bike the Coast also solidifies our commitment to the endurance sports community, where we have established a strong presence.”

Chargel, a low-calorie, plant-based gel drink, is designed to provide fast-acting energy with a blend of B vitamins. It combines a light texture perfect for active individuals and families seeking a quick refreshment. With a resealable pouch featuring a built-in spout, Chargel makes it easy to consume on the go, allowing users to take sips without needing to finish the entire pouch at once. Each serving provides 20% of the daily value for vital B vitamins, including niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, B12, and B6, making it a nutritious choice for those on the move.
