Drips for after the finish
Sports Endurance is the main one, and the other two suit travel days.
| Treatment | Price | What is in it | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sports Endurance | From R1,690 | Vitamin B12, vitamin C, L-glutamine, and glutathione | After a race or a hard training block |
| Hangover / Jet lag | From R1,790 | Electrolytes, B12, B complex, and glutathione | Visitors off a long flight |
| Energy Booster | From R1,490 | Vitamin B12, B complex, and electrolytes | A long travel day home |
Each price is for one person having one drip, whether you ran, rode, or came to watch.
If you race in a tested category
This service is not for elite or drug-tested athletes. The World Anti-Doping Agency's 2026 Prohibited List bans the following at all times, in and out of competition: "Intravenous infusions and/or injections of more than a total of 100 mL per 12-hour period except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital treatments, surgical procedures or clinical diagnostic investigations."
Race rules add their own limits. At UTCT, an IV drip from the event medical crew means automatic disqualification, and at the Two Oceans, IV treatment on the course makes a runner ineligible for prizes. If you compete in any category that could be tested, check with your federation or SAIDS, the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport, before you book. Anyone who feels unwell at the finish should see the race medical team first.
Race weekend questions
Can you come on race day, including a Sunday?
Yes, by arrangement whenever it falls outside our usual hours of Monday to Friday 08:00 to 16:30 and Saturday 09:00 to 14:00.
How long does a drip take after a race?
Between 30 and 45 minutes.
Can the whole house book together?
Yes. Housemates booking together get one quote, based on group size and area.
Do you come to the Winelands for race weekends?
We come to rentals and hotels in the suburbs on our areas page, and in Stellenbosch, Paarl, and Somerset West. Staying in Franschhoek, Hermanus, or further out? Ask us, and the location becomes part of the quote.
Do you have a clinic near the finish?
No. IVgo has no clinic, near the finish or anywhere else, because the nurse always travels to you.
