IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chargel®, a one-of-a-kind, thirst-quenching snack that delivers fast-acting energy and B vitamins, today announced its November athletic race station lineup. Chargel will finish its 2025 sampling events by revisiting the TCS New York City Marathon Expo Presented by New Balance and Bike the Coast in Southern California.

On Nov. 2, over 50,000 runners will take on New York City's five boroughs for the TCS New York City Marathon. Leading up to race day, Chargel will be on-site at the TCS New York City Marathon Expo Presented by New Balance from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. As one of the nation's largest running expositions, the event features an extensive lineup of vendors, and partner activations.

Taking place on Nov. 1, Bike the Coast invites cyclists and spectators to experience Southern California's iconic Highway 101 with scenic ocean views and festive coastal atmosphere.

"Participating in this event allows us to connect directly with thousands of dedicated runners and showcase how Chargel supports endurance from start to finish.
