Official event pageWhat this race demands
This fast 10 km asphalt race requires sustained high-intensity aerobic output and a steady pacing strategy over a flat or gently rolling road course.
Anaerobic Threshold
Running 10 kilometers continuously at a strong pace demands maintaining a heart rate and effort near the lactate threshold for the entire duration.
Asphalt Mechanics
The hard road surface requires efficient running biomechanics and durability to absorb repetitive impact forces without form degradation.
