Cooknrun: Organic fuel for your next bike adventure
They come from Angers, they’re 100% organic, and they’re here to treat your taste buds as much as your legs. Cooknrun bars aren’t just snacks - they’re little bursts of energy crafted for explorers like you.
And here's a tasty surprise: when you arrive at your GravelUp trip, you’ll find a discovery box waiting on your bed — packed with these delicious protein bars. Because good adventures always start with good food.
Fuel for the ride - and the spirit
The story starts with Alexis, a former athletics coach and expert in sports micronutrition, and Alexandre, a chef with a passion for well-balanced recipes. Together, they imagined a new kind of energy food: clean, organic, gluten-free, with no added sugar — and above all, tasty.
We tried them between two climbs. Let’s just say: it was hard to stop at one. Naturally rich in antioxidants, they’re the kind of snack you’ll be glad to have in your jersey pocket - or just before hopping on your gravel bike for the day.
Not just for athletes in Lycra
Yes, pro athletes like Olympic runner Amandine Brossier and climber Arnaud Petit swear by them. But Cooknrun bars aren’t just for those chasing medals. They’re also for those of us who simply enjoy eating well, moving outdoors, and discovering new horizons.
So whether you’re mid-adventure, back at the bivouac, or daydreaming about your next bike trip while at the office (we won’t tell), these bars hit the spot.
Bonus points: Cooknrun also makes freeze-dried meals for your bivouac nights and herbal infusions to help you recover after the ride. We’re hooked.
Discover the full range of Cooknrun goodies and learn more about our tasty partnership — one more reason to look forward to your GravelUp journey.
