Official event pageWhat this race demands
Bockstensturen demands sustained muscular endurance and technical bike handling across 80 kilometers of hilly Swedish forest terrain.
Climbing volume
The 1500 meters of elevation gain spread across the 80-kilometer distance requires consistent power output on sustained ascents throughout the ride.
Technical trail riding
Navigating the technical singletracks of the Åkulla beech forests demands high concentration and upper-body fatigue resistance for the duration of the event.
Given the extended duration on the mountain bike, aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output.
