Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Aabenraa BjergMarathon requires athletes to sustain running effort across a full marathon distance over a challenging, hilly course featuring historic streets and woods.
Aerobic endurance
Covering the full 42.2 km marathon distance demands deep aerobic capacity and efficient pacing to maintain forward motion over the entire duration.
Hilly terrain durability
The hilly profile of the course requires strong muscular endurance and resilience in both the concentric climbing and eccentric descending phases.
A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent carbohydrate intake of approximately 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain glycogen stores and performance levels.
