DELIVEROO AND FASTA GIVING AWAY FREE PASTA TODAY AND TOMORROW TO HELP RUNNERS CARB LOAD

Saturday 29th October: For the weekend that's in it, marathon runners making their final preparations for the big day after months of training can claim a free portion of pasta on Deliveroo from Fasta this weekend.

Fasta, a Dublin restaurant renowned for making delicious pasta in just 5 minutes, is the perfect speedy partner to help Deliveroo fuel marathon runners. Let’s face it, carb loading before a marathon is practically a right of passage. In collaboration with Deliveroo, Fasta is giving away hundreds of free pasta pots to hungry runners on the eve of Ireland’s biggest running event, which is taking place tomorrow in Dublin City.

For those not in the know, a carb-loading diet is a strategy frequently used to improve athletic performance for endurance events such as marathons. Carbohydrates provide the body with glucose, which is converted to energy used to support bodily functions and physical activity. It works by increasing the amount of fuel stored in your muscles.

All customers need to do to get their carb loading feast is enter the following code (RUNFASTA10 ) on the Deliveroo app when checking out an order with Fasta this Saturday or Sunday. There are 100 free codes up for grabs worth €10, so runners better be quick.

Paddy Quinlan, Senior Regional Manager, Deliveroo Ireland commented: “Deliveroo is buzzing with excitement to join forces with Fasta to make carb loading that bit easier ahead of the most important running event of the year. Good luck to everyone taking part this bank holiday weekend!”

Commenting on the partnership Noel Reilly, doctor and owner of Fasta, says: “We were delighted when Deliveroo approached us with this fun giveaway. We are really excited to help everyone who is running the distance this weekend carb up for the big day in the tastiest way possible, with a healthy helping of fresh pasta!”
