What this race demands

This 50 km trail run across 900 meters of elevation in the rugged dune landscape of Schoorl demands sustained endurance and strong climbing legs.

Sustained Endurance

Covering a distance of 50 km requires a deep aerobic base and the capacity to keep moving forward for several hours.

Climbing Volume

Navigating 900 meters of elevation gain across the highest dune peaks in the Netherlands places a continuous load on the lower body and climbing musculature.

Terrain Adaptability

Running through a rugged dune landscape demands ankle stability and efficient pacing on shifting, sandy surfaces.

Given the duration of a 50 km trail run, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy availability.
