What this race demands

The Ebbser Koasamarsch requires sustained endurance and significant climbing capacity across a 55 km distance with 3900 meters of elevation gain.

Climbing volume

Accumulating 3900 meters of elevation over 55 km demands exceptional uphill efficiency and muscular endurance in the lower limbs.

Muscular durability

The substantial descent accompanying 3900 meters of climbing places high eccentric loading on the legs over the course of a long-duration hike.

Sustained pacing

Covering 55 km on mountain terrain requires consistent energy management to prevent premature fatigue over many hours of continuous effort.

Given the extended duration of a 55 km mountain hike, athletes should target an intake of 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
