Last weekend I ran in the Bass Pro Shops 25K trail run. The run was a beast(the 25k had 6500 feet of climb; times 2 for the 50k). During the run I took along a couple packages of the Jelly Belly energy jelly beans. Every time I got to the top of a hill, I would eat a few, chase them with some water, then speed back up.
The energy jelly beans worked really well, tasted good, and didn't mess with my stomach. At the end of the race, I felt like I had another 5 miles left, which is pretty good for no more than I've been able to run to get ready.
