Maurten
Maurten is the official Hydrogel Sports Fuel Partner of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON.
Developed for endurance athletes, Maurten has fueled the fastest. With a sports fuel range built on patented Hydrogel Technology, Maurten combines research – driven development alongside athlete feedback to enhance performance.
Maurten Hydrogel Technology makes fueling for marathon running simple. Carbohydrates are the currency of fueling – athletes need to consume them when training and racing. But they can cause stomach issues. The innovative technology allows for the hydrogel to encapsulate the carbohydrates and carry them through the stomach to be absorbed more easily. The proof is in the performance the fastest marathon times in history have been fueled by Hydrogel Technology.
We’re with you on course. Maurten Drink Mix 160 will be served at km 9, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 36 and Gel 100 will be available at km 27.5. But your start line is now – in training. This is when you plan, experiment, and get used to your race day fuel.

VILSA mineral water at Olivaer Platz after kilometer 33. VILSA is a natural mineral water. It comes from a deep spring that has been protected from the outside world and harmful environmental influences by thick layers of clay for thousands of years. It is not for nothing that VILSA mineral water is so pure. It also owes its light, low-sodium mineralisation and mild taste to the thick layers of rock that filter every drop on its way to the spring. This makes it the perfect accompaniment for sporting activities and your well-being.
VILSA is actively committed to sustainability under the motto "Protecting Tomorrow Today". The brand is committed to environmentally friendly measures such as the use of 100% recycled PET for disposable bottles and the protection of natural sources.
