We are fired up to welcome Macgrif Nutrition as the Official Nutrition Partner of KZN Trail Running for 2026!
If you have spent any time on the trails, you know this: good days out there don’t happen by accident. They are built on pacing, patience and fuelling right.
That’s where Macgrif comes in. They bring a deep bench of endurance nutrition that’s made for long days, hot climbs, gritty kilometres and the moments when you need something that Just Works.
You will find Macgrif at selected KZNTR events in 2026 set up in the race village with a proper nutrition station, stocked with the kind of fuel trail runners actually use:
- Gels for fast hits when the legs are cooked, with proven options from GU and USN.
- Bars and real-food fuel for sustained energy when you need something that lasts, from Racefood and High5.
- Chews and gummies from GU and High5 for when you want something easy and chewable instead of another gel.
- Hydration and electrolyte products from Openfuel and others to help keep things ticking over when the heat and humidity kick in.
But this partnership isn’t just about selling products. It’s about having people on the ground who understand trail running, who’ve been there themselves and who can help you make smarter calls about fuelling, whether you are lining up for your first trail race or heading deeper into ultra territory.
Trail running is part grind, part flow. Some days you’re flying, some days you’re hanging on, and nutrition plays a massive role in how those stories end. Having Macgrif on board as our nutrition partner helps us to support runners through the full experience, not just the finish line photo.
Welcome to the KZNTR family, Macgrif Nutrition, looking forward to seeing you out on the trails!
