Fuel Up & Give Back at CHOP5

Fuel Up at CHOP5 with the Official Bowl of the OhioHealth Capital City Half Marathon!

Are you ready to fuel up for the OhioHealth Capital City Half Marathon? CHOP5 and OhioHealth Sports Medicine Dietitian, Dawn Holmes, have teamed up to create the Official Bowl of the OhioHealth Capital City Half Marathon, a powerhouse meal designed to support endurance athletes while giving back to the community.

For every bowl sold in the month of April, $1 will be donated to the OhioHealth Foundation, making this not just a great meal choice but also a meaningful way to contribute to a good cause.

What’s in the Official Cap City Bowl?

This expertly crafted bowl is packed with nutrient-dense ingredients that fuel performance, aid recovery, and support overall health.

Here’s what makes it special:

Grains: The Foundation for Endurance

• Rice – Start your bowl with a carbohydrate-rich base essential for endurance athletes. This provides the energy needed for workouts and helps muscles refuel for your next run.

Protein: Power and Recovery

• Chicken – A high-quality animal protein that supports muscle repair and recovery after training.

• Edamame – A powerhouse plant protein that also provides iron, helping to boost the nutritional value of the bowl. Pairing a rich vegetable protein with a meat protein adds variety & boosts the dish's nutrition. 

• Tofu – One of the highest protein plant-based foods (soy), often fortified with calcium for strong bones and optimal muscle function.

Vegetables: The Power of the Rainbow

Eating a variety of colorful vegetables helps improve blood flow and reduce inflammation, allowing your body to absorb nutrients more efficiently and stay strong for race day. This bowl features:

• Romaine – A crisp and refreshing leafy green that adds texture and nutrients.

• Carrots – Packed with beta carotene and vitamin A, which support eyesight, heart health, and inflammation reduction.

• Tomatoes – A great source of lycopene, an antioxidant that protects against heart disease and supports brain health.

• Corn – A Midwest classic that adds a touch of sweetness and fiber.

Healthy Fats: Satisfaction and Nutrient Absorption

• Avocado – Not only does it enhance the flavor of the dish, but it also keeps you full longer and helps your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, E, and K found in the veggies.

Sauces: Because Taste Matters!

• Chipotle Ranch & BBQ Drizzle - The Official Cap City Bowl is as delicious as it is nutritious. The carefully chosen sauces add the perfect finishing touch, making this a meal to look forward to—especially after a training run!
