January 31, 2011 - Geobars on the run

Traidcraft Geobars (and cookies) have helped get Edinburgh GP Andrew Murray from the snows of Scotland to the sands of the Sahara – on foot.

Running the equivalent of 100 marathons, Andrew, 30, covered the 2660 miles in a record-breaking 78 days – and Geobars proved an essential piece of kit.

“They’re delicious and are excellent, nutritionally, for runners,” he says. “They’re a top product and I’m still keen on them – despite eating hundreds of them,” said Andrew, whose family have been long-time Traidcraft supporters.

And his favourite Geobar? “Fruit nut and honey. Brilliant! Can’t beat the taste.”
