CARBS! pasta or anything like that.  Fruits and veggie as well for energy!  Hope that helps! =)

Answer 2

Send them with water and someting light like goldfish crackers.  Eat pasta tonight.  I'm 13 and this what I do.  I hope this helps!!

Tell your kids I say good luck,

Live the running gal

Answer 3

peaunut butter, bagels, honey, raisins, and pretzels are great. What time is the meet at? They are pretty young and I don't know how serious the meet is if it is just something for them to have fun at they could eat a good lunch like a turkey sandwhich and maybe some carrots. I hope that I helped you out a little bit.

Answer 4

gatorade, pay-day, snickers, something with carbs and protien but dont stress to much because i was a track runner this year and i am 13. it doesn't really matter. the big thing is that you don't want them to eat to much. you want them to be a little hungry when they run.

Answer 5

Carbohydrates, pasta for dinner the night b4. Carbs translate to sugar, for quick energy, but can be too heavy the day of, better on the night before. On the day of, send fruits, good energy but not too heavy, protein, for muscle power and stamina. Not junk food, chips, sodas, etc.  Cheese sticks are good, like string cheese, and nuts, both good proteins, and juice instead of soda.

Answer 6

Very good thinking, to send a snack.  Of course they'll be hungry, especially after they run.

I find certain carbs work well after i run.  Pretzels are always nice, and so is a granola bar (Nature's Valley are very good for this).  

However, some people don't love carbs.  they might want something else.  Peanuts are another go-to food, although some people feel that it upsets their stomach after or before they run.

Wish them luck!
