Have you tried health food stores, chemists and the like?

Googling for extran, clicking on the "pages from the UK" option, throws
up sites that sell it.

"throws up" may not be the best phrase to use in this context ... 8-)

Jon Green's reply isn't showing up on my newsfeed, but if you mean the
2nd link, it's a review site... I looked at all the links again, though, 
and found a link on the 2nd page that sells it:

http://www.xpedia.co.uk/acatalog/Xpedia_Online_MAXIM__60.html

First time I looked at that page, I thought it was Maxim, and didn't see 
the Maxim == Extran bit. There were loads of other sites I found through 
google which used to sell Extran, but no longer do....

Hi,

I'm actually going to Holland on Wednesday.  If they sell it in shopping 
centre I go to over there (in den Haag), I could send you a couple of 
sachets.

My e-mail is david.hallsworth AT wadham.oxford DOT ac.uk (does breaking it 
up like that ACTUALLY work?)

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?
