Official event pageWhat this race demands
The ARBERLAND Ultra Trail demands rigorous endurance and climbing resilience to cover 102 kilometers and 3,900 meters of elevation gain in the Bavarian Forest.
Ultra Distance
Covering 102 kilometers requires sustained forward motion and metabolic management over many hours on foot.
Climbing Volume
Ascending 3,900 meters of elevation demands persistent climbing strength and eccentric quad durability for the corresponding descents.
September Conditions
Racing in mid-September in the Bavarian Forest requires preparation for variable autumn mountain weather and potential temperature swings.
Given the extended duration of a 102-kilometer ultra, athletes should target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output.
