BAOUW - Ideal race pack!


Your ideal Racepack!

Baouw is first and foremost the expertise of nutritionist Benoit Nave, a former high-level athlete and coach to professional athletes, including Xavier Thévenard and Ugo Ferrari,... After optimizing the nutritional content of Baouw bars and purées, Benoit also helps our athletes prepare their race-day nutrition. So why not take advantage of it yourself?
 
You have planned a 4-, 8-, or 12-hour outing and are not sure exactly how much nutrition to take with you? Our friends at Baouw guide you in this article.
