What this race demands
360º The Challenge Gran Canaria demands relentless endurance and advanced self-sufficiency to cover 260 km and 13000 m of elevation on an unmarked navigation course.
Extreme Distance
Covering 260 km requires exceptional physiological durability and pacing control over multiple days of continuous movement.
Massive Elevation
Accumulating 13000 m of climbing and descending demands immense leg strength, muscular resilience, and specific training for sustained gradients.
Navigation and Autonomy
The self-sufficient format and unmarked course require athletes to manage their own nutrition and maintain precise GPS navigation skills under fatigue.
Target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour throughout the event to sustain energy levels across multiple days of continuous ultradistance effort.
