Here is our energy package for Göteborgsvarvet or other half marathon.
The energy plan is based on the fact that you also consume sports drinks from the race's liquid stations that serve sports drinks. In addition to the sports drink served, you use gel in this package as below.

Description
Article no.: 2321WW
Usage (1:45-2h)
30min before start - U Intend Shot 60ml
5min before start - U Gel 30g Carbs
30min - U Gel 30g Carbs
1h - U Gel 30g Carbs
1,5h - U Gel 30g Carbs
The recommended intake is for those who run in about 1h 45min -2h. For other times, we advise you to add one gel of your choice for every extra 30 minutes you are out running.
If you take the sports drink at all stations, you get 20-40g of carbohydrates (based on whether you get everything in the cup or not), then these 4 gels give another 120g = 140-160g of carbohydrates which is enough for about 2h of running. Should you miss a station or two you'll still be fine too.
Good luck to you
