Trail Menorca Camí de Cavalls is an epic trail running event that follows the historic 185-km path circling the island of Menorca.
What this race demands
This 185-kilometre trail running event requires athletes to complete a continuous circuit around the perimeter of Menorca on historic paths.
Ultra-Endurance Capacity
Covering 185 kilometres in a single continuous trail running event demands exceptional aerobic stamina and extensive preparation for prolonged time on feet.
Musculoskeletal Durability
The extreme distance places a heavy repetitive load on the lower extremities, requiring robust durability to withstand structural fatigue over multiple hours or days.
Pacing Control
Managing effort across an island-circling route of this magnitude requires strict discipline to prevent premature energy depletion.
Given the multi-hour duration required to cover 185 kilometres, athletes should target an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy availability.
