Official event pageWhat this race demands
This alpine cycling marathon demands exceptional climbing endurance and high-altitude pacing to manage 3,300 meters of elevation gain over 168 kilometers.
Climbing Volume
Over 3,300 meters of vertical gain distributed across a 168-kilometer route requires sustained climbing strength and efficient energy management on long alpine ascents.
High-Altitude Endurance
Ascending the Stelvio Pass demands strong aerobic capacity and the ability to sustain effort at high altitudes where oxygen availability is reduced.
Muscular Durability
A continuous alpine profile requires persistent muscular engagement on climbs and technical focus during descents over a lengthy duration.
Target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output throughout the extended duration of the alpine marathon.
