UCAN Fact: Emma Bates's marathon of 2:22:10

Emma Bates (born July 8, 1992) is an American middle- and long-distance runner. She is a 12-time All-American, the 2014 NCAA 10,000 champion competing for Boise State University, and the 2018 U.S. Women's Marathon Champion.

 

In 2021, Bates moved to Boulder, Colorado to join Team Boss and is coached by Joe Bosshard.

 

Emma fuels her marathons with 1 UCAN Edge energy gel every 5k. During Boston, she consumed an Edge gel at every 5k water stop except for at 40k. She consumed a total of 7 gels to fuel her personal best marathon of 2:22:10. In training, Emma takes an Edge gel every 45-60 minutes, but she uses them more frequently when she’s racing. No matter how often she uses them, what Emma loves most about UCAN is that it never bothers her stomach.
