Marathon Runners will be Offered Chocolate Milk

Posted: Updated:

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- The County Music Marathon is coming up next weekend, and this year, runners will be offered chocolate milk after the race.

It may sound strange, but some distance runners are using the low fat version to help recover after races. Organizers of the Country Music Marathon have taken notice and will offer it, along with water and sports drinks.

Nutritionists say chocolate milk has a good mixture of calcium, potassium and magnesium that can replenish what runners lose during a race.
