What this race demands
Coastrek requires athletes to sustain forward progress over a 35 km coastal hiking distance as part of an iconic team challenge.
Distance endurance
Covering 35 km on foot demands sustained muscular endurance and cardiovascular stamina over many hours of continuous hiking.
Terrain adaptation
Traversing coastal trails requires ankle stability and lower body resilience to handle varied and potentially uneven ground.
A 35 km hike will likely exceed 2.5 hours of duration, requiring a consistent intake of 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
