Just glug it and hope for the best. ;-)   You could play ultra-safe and 
stick to water, gels and salt caps but personally I'd chance it.  It looks a 
lot like Lucozade sport.

This list of ingredients for the fast hydration drink is:

water, sacharose, fructose, maltodextrine, dextrose, voedingszuur 
(citroenzuur), aroma, natrium, conserveermiddelen (E242, E202), kalium, 
antioxidant (L-ascorbinezuur), kleurstoffen (E161b, E141)

For the extra power drink:

water, sacharose, maltodextrine, druivensuiker, lactose, voedingszuur 
(citroenzuur), aroma, conserveermiddelen (E242, E202), kalium, antioxidant 
(L-ascorbinezuur), natrium, kleurstoffen (�-caroteen, karmijnzuur)

I would guess that it's the hydration drink that they'll be serving.

Best of luck in the marathon. When is it?

Tim
