What this race demands

Chojnik Maraton demands sustained climbing and descending capacity over a 42 km mountain course with 2284 meters of elevation gain.

Climbing economy

Navigating 2284 meters of elevation gain across a marathon distance requires efficient pacing on sustained ascents to prevent premature muscular fatigue.

Descending durability

The significant cumulative descent over mountain terrain places heavy eccentric loading on the quadriceps, demanding strong technical descending skills.

Aerobic endurance

A full marathon distance in the mountains requires high aerobic capacity and metabolic fitness to sustain effort over several hours.

Consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy output for the expected duration.
