The Burgenland Extrem Tour is an extreme winter walking and endurance event featuring a 120 km continuous route around Lake Neusiedl.
What this race demands
The Burgenland Extrem Tour demands extreme walking endurance to complete a continuous 120 km winter route around Lake Neusiedl.
Ultra-distance endurance
Covering 120 km entirely on foot requires exceptional cardiovascular and muscular endurance to sustain forward motion for an extended duration.
Winter weather resilience
Taking place in January exposes participants to cold seasonal conditions, demanding proper thermal regulation and gear management.
Continuous pacing
The single-stage format requires strict energy management and pacing strategy to prevent premature fatigue over the massive distance.
Given the extreme duration of a 120 km walk, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain glycogen stores and energy levels.
