IRVINE, Calif., May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Chargel, the caffeine-free, pocket-sized and easy-to-consume athletic gel drink, announced its May competitive race station lineup as the first-of-its-kind gel prepares to broaden its reach across all aspects of the athletic community. May's Chargel Station itinerary includes the SDCCU Orange County Marathon and the LA Tri Series #2 Spring Classic.  

The official Gel Sponsor of both the SDCCU Orange County Marathon and the LA Tri Series, Chargel will be passing out the half beverage, half snack along the course since it's designed to be consumed before and/or during endurance or high-intensity activities. 

Running through the beautiful coastal communities of Southern California and finishing in Costa Mesa, the SDCCU Orange County Marathon kicks off in Newport Beach on May 7. In its 40^th consecutive year, The LA Tri Series is the world's longest-running triathlon series and expects over 300 triathletes for the second event happening at Bonelli Park on May 21.

Its immediate energy comes from an exclusive blend of carbohydrates, fruit juice, and five essential B vitamins—including 20% daily value niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, B12 and B6—without any artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup. Available in three crushable flavors, White Grape, Green Apple, and Strawberry, Chargel is designed to meet the unique needs of runners, cyclists, weekend warriors and everyone in between.
