SmartSak Launches Marathon Survival Kit for Aging Boomers

The dirty little secret of marathons is the post-race pain. The Marathon Medic is a clever way to hit the ground running.

Long road ahead? Dont sweat it...the race is in the bag. At least thats what theyre saying at SmartSak, LLC. SmartSak has just launched The Marathon Medic- a marathon survival kit for people who need an edge.

The dirty little secret of marathons is that most people can barely move for up to one week following the race. Being prepared is the ultimate weapon for weekend warriors who love a challenge. The Marathon Medic is a lightweight waist pack that comes fully stocked with an ace wrap, antibiotic ointment, gauze, elastic bandages, petroleum jelly, sanitary wipes, pain relievers and even a rain poncho- critical gear for first time runners and anyone else whos going for a personal best.

There are a lot of people who dont want to lose time searching for the first-aid tent. They try to run right through, but end up hobbling toward the finish line like a fish on dry land. With this bag, they can take care of common problems right away and get back on track," says Shelia White, V.P. of Marketing.

In general, the key to surviving a marathon is training. For those of us who may have hit the road a little too soon, The Marathon Medic is just what the doctor ordered.
