About us

We are rogainers and trail runners. We made Trailgel because we wanted better gels than the ones we could buy.

Made for long days out

Rogaining is 24-hour orienteering. Teams spend a whole day and night on foot, navigating with map and compass and eating on the move the whole time. Add years of trail running and we have tried most of the energy gels on the market.

We kept running into the same problems. Gels were expensive. Most use preservatives, and you can taste them. Small single-serving packs pile up as rubbish in your pockets on a long race.

So we made our own

We started mixing gels at home for our own races. They cost far less and tasted much better. Friends tried them on their runs and asked for more, so we started Trailgel.

• No preservatives. That is why our gels are kept frozen until you need them.
• Natural flavours from real fruit juice, not artificial flavourings.
• Proven carb mix. Maltodextrin and fructose, the same ratio used in leading sports gels.
• Many servings per pouch, so one pouch lasts a long race.
