Our mission
At The Athlete’s Pantry, we aim to be more than just a store! We are here to build a thriving community and create opportunities for those who deserve a fair chance.
Sport in South Africa has given us so much and we believe it’s our turn to give back. That’s why a portion of our profits will be reinvested into initiatives that support under resourced sporting communities. We are committed to doing this with transparency, integrity, and impact, because when the community wins, we all win.
Who We Are
We’re Daniel London and Christian Jacobsz, two athletes who share a love for running long distances, chasing big mountain adventures, drinking coffee and talking all things carbohydrates.
Christian, a cardiac physiologist by day, has been running since his school days, starting on the track before swapping his spikes for cycling shoes. After some years on the bike, he found his way back to running, where he now focuses on trail races and spending time in the mountain playgrounds that South Africa has to offer.
Daniel joined the running community in 2023 and quickly found his stride and his direction in life. Inspired by the sport, he returned to university to study sports science, determined to understand the physics behind great training and peak performance. Rain or shine, road or mountain, Daniel is out there putting in the miles and chasing new goals. He has been moving up the trail running ranks at an impressive pace, fuelled by a healthy respect for carbs.
Together, we believe that carefully selected, high-quality sports nutrition can transform how you feel in training and perform on race day. We’ve experienced it ourselves, and we’ve made it our mission to share it with the community.
You’re Invited
When you shop with us, you’re not just buying gels or drink mix. You’re joining a community that’s growing, learning, and getting stronger together.
Every visit to our site and every order you place helps fuel that mission. We’re here to support your journey, celebrate your milestones and make sure you have access to the best fuel possible for the adventure ahead.
Let’s fuel the journey together.
