Official event pageWhat this race demands
This two-day multi-municipality walking event requires covering 52 kilometers across historical immigrant trails and a nature reserve. Athletes must sustain consecutive days of endurance on foot.
Two-day endurance
Because the event spans two days to cover the 52-kilometer distance, participants need the recovery capacity and stamina to back up significant daily walking efforts.
Trail durability
Traversing historical immigrant trails and the Augusto Ruschi Reserve exposes walkers to uneven terrain, requiring joint resilience and steady pacing over multi-hour stages.
Given the multi-hour daily duration of this walking event, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels across each stage.
