SiS 10K Race Pack brings together sports nutrition for training and competition in a practical package tailored for runners who focus on 5–10 kilometers, time trials and other high-intensity activities.

The package contains three different product categories:

HYDRO+ electrolyte drink

GO Isotonic Energy Gel

GO Energy + Caffeine Gel

Also included is a 600 ml SiS Wide Neck Water Bottle . Each product category is delivered as a 6-pack, meaning the package contains 18 portion-packed products and a sports bottle.

The regular GO Isotonic gels provide 22g of carbohydrates per gel from maltodextrin. The formula is isotonic and can be consumed without having to drink water at the same time.

GO Energy + Caffeine is based on the same easy-to-flow gel format and also provides 22g of carbohydrates per gel . Cola and Berry typically contain 75mg of caffeine , while the Double Espresso option contains 150mg of caffeine per gel .

HYDRO+ is mixed with 500 ml of water and provides 1,576 mg of electrolytes from sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and magnesium. The product also contains vitamins C, B6 and B12.

The package contains more products than would normally be used during a single 10K race. The idea is that you will also be able to test products and practice your setup during interval workouts, tempo runs and longer workouts.

The package contains

6 x SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel

6 x SiS GO Energy + Caffeine Gel

6 × SiS HYDRO+ Electrolyte Drink Mix

1 × SiS Wide Neck Water Bottle 600 ml

The package version can be configured with different flavors depending on availability.

The twelve gels contain a total of:

6 caffeine-free gels × 22 g = 132 g carbohydrates

6 caffeine gels × 22 g = 132 g carbohydrates

Total = 264 g carbohydrates

The amount of caffeine in the entire package depends on the flavor chosen and should not be seen as a recommended amount to use at the same time.

SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel

SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel is a light-flowing energy gel that provides 22 g of carbohydrates per serving . Maltodextrin is used as the sole carbohydrate source.

The isotonic consistency means that the gel can be taken without additional water at the time of ingestion. The separate fluid requirement still needs to be adjusted according to activity, temperature and individual sweat loss.

Benefits of GO Isotonic Energy Gel

22 g carbohydrates per gel

Maltodextrin as a carbohydrate source

Isotonic and easy-flowing formula

Can be taken without additional water

No added caffeine

Easy to carry in a pocket or running belt

Suitable before or during intense exercise

SiS generally recommends 1–3 or more gels per hour to achieve a carbohydrate intake of around 60–90g per hour. For a shorter 10km race, the need may be significantly lower and depends on factors such as finish time, previous meal and what you have trained for.

SiS GO Energy + Caffeine Gel

SiS GO Energy + Caffeine Gel combines carbohydrates with caffeine. Each gel provides 22g of carbohydrates . Cola and Berry contain 75mg of caffeine, while Double Espresso contains 150mg of caffeine.

SiS states that the caffeine gel can be used approximately 30 minutes before intense physical activity or later during longer activities when you want to add caffeine.

Fits whenever you want

Combine energy and caffeine

Using caffeine before an intense race

Plan a caffeine gel separately from other gels

Test caffeine during tempo runs or intervals

Have a caffeine alternative for the later part of the race

Important information about caffeine

Add up caffeine from all sources, for example:

Coffee

Energy drink

Other energy gels

Caffeine tablets

PWO and dietary supplements

High caffeine content. Not recommended for children or pregnant or breastfeeding people.

The caffeine gel should be tested during training before use on race day. Double Espresso contains twice as much caffeine as Cola and Berry and therefore requires extra careful planning.

SiS HYDRO+ Electrolyte Drink Mix

SiS HYDRO+ is a pre-packaged electrolyte powder that is mixed with 500 ml of cold water . Each serving provides a total of 1,576 mg of electrolytes .

The electrolytes consist of:

Electrolyte
Per serving
Sodium
350mg
Chloride
750 mg
Potassium
300mg
Calcium
120 mg
Magnesium
56 mg
Total
1,576 mg

HYDRO+ also contains:

80 mg of vitamin C

0.42 mg vitamin B6

0.75 µg vitamin B12

Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

How to mix HYDRO+

Fill the bottle with 500 ml of cold water.

Empty one sachet into the bottle.

Close the bottle and shake well.

Wait until the powder has dissolved.

It is best to consume the drink immediately after mixing.

HYDRO+ is primarily an electrolyte product and does not contain the same amount of carbohydrates as a regular sports drink. Energy from gels or food therefore needs to be planned separately.

SiS Wide Neck Water Bottle 600 ml

The included SiS bottle holds 600 ml and has a wide opening that makes it easier to fill and mix powder.

The bottle has:

Volume of 600 ml

Wide opening

Leak-proof valve

BPA-free construction

The volume provides enough space for a HYDRO+ serving mixed with 500 ml of water while still leaving room to shake the drink properly.

Recommended use

The SiS 10K Race Pack is primarily intended to be used both during the training period and on race day.

During the training period

Test the products below:

Tempo pass

Threshold pass

Longer interval workouts

Progressive running sessions

Long pass

Competitive training sessions

Use the exercise to find out:

If you need energy before or during your workout

If you tolerate caffeine while running

What amount of caffeine is right for you?

What flavors do you prefer?

How close to the start can a gel be taken?

How much fluid you need

If you want to carry gel or use energy station

Don't try a completely new caffeine or energy regimen on race day.

Example of energy plan for 10 km

The Science in Sports 10K guide shows different setups depending on the estimated finish time. The examples below are manufacturer guidelines and should be adjusted according to individual tolerance, previous meal and training background.

Estimated completion time around 60 minutes

SiS shows the following example:

Time
Product
Start
GO Isotonic Energy Gel and approximately 150 ml of water
20 minutes
GO Energy + Caffeine Gel and approximately 150 ml of water
40 minutes
GO Isotonic Energy Gel and approximately 200 ml of water

The recipe provides a total of 66 g of carbohydrates, 75 mg of caffeine and approximately 500 ml of water .

Estimated completion time around 40 minutes

SiS also shows a shorter layout:

Time
Product
About 10 minutes
GO Energy + Caffeine Gel and approximately 200 ml of water
Approximately 30 minutes
GO Isotonic Energy Gel and approximately 200 ml of water

It provides a total of 44 g of carbohydrates, 75 mg of caffeine and approximately 400 ml of water when a 75 mg caffeine gel is used.

These amounts may be more than some runners need or tolerate during a 10K race. Many may prefer a gel before the start or a smaller amount during the race. The energy plan should always be tested in training.

Adjust the layout according to the end time

For about 40 minutes

With a short finish time, a well-planned meal before the race may be sufficient for many runners. A caffeine gel before the start can be used by those who have tested and tolerate caffeine.

There is often limited time to consume multiple gels during the race itself.

Approximately 40–60 minutes

A gel before the start or early in the race can be a simple setup. A second gel can be used later by runners who have tested a higher carbohydrate intake.

Over 60 minutes

Runners who expect a longer finish time may benefit more from planning one or more energy intakes. Adjust the timing according to water availability and how the stomach reacts at race pace.

Why test energy during exercise?

Although a 10K race is shorter than a half marathon or marathon, it is often run at a high intensity. Products that work during leisurely running may not always work as well at race pace.

Therefore, try:

Same product and taste

Same amount of caffeine

Same time before start

Similar breakfast or meal

The same approximate competition intensity

Similar amount of liquid

Caffeine can affect the stomach, heart rate, sleep and perceived exertion differently between individuals.

Suitable for

10-kilometer race

5-kilometer race

Time trial

Threshold pass

Interval training

Progressive long sessions

Trail running

Shorter trail races

HYROX and functional training

Cycling and time trial races

Training camp

Runners who want to test caffeine and energy before a race

How long does the package last?

The package includes:

6 caffeine-free energy gels

6 caffeinated energy gels

6 HYDRO+ bags

1 sports bottle

This means that there is enough for several training sessions and at least one competition. The exact length of time the package will last depends on how many products you use at each event.

Don't use all the gels in one run just because they are included in the pack. The six caffeine gels are primarily intended to be used and tested on separate occasions.
