2008 BRITISH 5K LONDON RUN WON BY MARTIN RICHARDSON!

Congratulations to Martin Richardson, the winner of the 2008 ASICS British 5K London Run . Martin ran the course in 18:37.

GATORADE, THE WORLD'S MOST RESEARCHED SPORTS DRINK, IS A PROUD SPONSOR OF THE ASICS BRITISH 5K.

Hydrating elite and everyday athletes since its creation in 1965, Gatorade is the official sports drink of professional teams, leagues and events across the world. Its scientifically developed and athletically proven formula is the choice of more top athletes than any other sports drink.
 
Hydration is crucial for top performance. On the day of Asics British 5K you might feel you’re giving it your all but it’s just not enough – you’re dehydrated! At this year’s Asics British 5K event Gatorade will be on course providing athletes with the fuel they need to power through the race. The scientific blend of 6% carbohydrates and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) in Gatorade helps stimulate fluid absorption, maintain fluid balance and provide energy to athletes’ working muscles when they need it most. The unique Gatorade formula replaces what athletes lose in sweat keeping their bodies hydrated to achieve peak performance. Put simply – nothing works better.

REHYDRATE, REPLENISH and REFUEL with Gatorade at the Asics British 5K.
