BOKA Energy Fuels the 2024 Kansas Marathon: A Game-Changer for Runners

The 2024 Kansas Marathon was a thrilling event that brought together runners of all levels, from elite athletes to weekend warriors, all striving to push their limits. This year, BOKA Energy was proud to be part of the action as a Bronze Sponsor and the exclusive energy gel provider on the course.

With over 3,000 energy gels distributed at fueling stations and a strong presence at the pre-race expo, we had the incredible opportunity to connect with runners, support their performance, and witness firsthand how proper fueling makes a difference in endurance racing. Here’s a recap of our experience and key insights from the event.

Fueling the Kansas Marathon: BOKA’s Impact on Race Day

For many marathoners, nutrition can make or break performance, and we were excited to play a crucial role in helping runners stay energized without the typical stomach discomfort caused by artificial gels.

• BOKA was the only energy gel provided at official fuel stations, ensuring runners had a clean, natural source of energy.
• We gave out over 3,000 gels—a significant milestone for our brand in the running community.
• Feedback was overwhelmingly positive—runners loved the natural taste and appreciated having a stomach-friendly option on the course.

Runners know that every mile matters, and we’re proud to have supported them in their journey to the finish line with a natural, effective energy source.

What Happens When Runners Use Natural Energy Gels? Insights from the Kansas Marathon

One of the most exciting aspects of being part of the Kansas Marathon was hearing directly from runners about how BOKA compared to traditional gels. Many athletes told us they experienced:

• No stomach discomfort – Unlike artificial gels packed with preservatives and chemicals, BOKA’s natural ingredients were easy to digest.
• Steady energy without a sugar crash – The balanced formulation kept runners going strong without sudden spikes and crashes.
• Great taste and smooth texture – Several runners mentioned they loved the taste compared to the typical "overly sweet" gels they were used to.

This real-time feedback is exactly why BOKA was created—to offer a better way to fuel endurance athletes naturally.

• Many runners were actively searching for natural alternatives to traditional gels.
• We had great conversations about race-day nutrition and optimal fueling strategies.
• Athletes appreciated that BOKA is inspired by real food, based on the traditional Colombian bocadillo.

The enthusiasm we saw confirmed that the running community is eager for a cleaner, more effective way to fuel endurance sports.
