XACT NUTRITION

XACT NUTRITION started with one simple idea. Surely it’s possible to make a better-tasting alternative to an energy gel. From there, the XACT ENERGY Fruit bar was born; combining the quality of traditional French cuisine with the practical ease of sport nutrition.

XACT ENERGY Fruit bars are an obvious alternative to energy gels. They're less chewy than chews and (much) less sticky than gels. Plus, they're made with simple ingredients and are easy to eat and easy on the stomach - perfect for fueling your Philadelphia Marathon Weekend goals!

Find them past mile 11, before mile 18 and past mile 22 at the AACR Philadelphia Marathon Course and at the mile 8 water station on the Dietz & Watson Philadelphia Half Marathon Course. The XACT team will also be giving out samples at the Health & Fitness Expo, so be sure to swing by their booth for a taste!
