Official event pageWhat this race demands
Łemkowyna Ultra-Trail demands exceptional endurance and structural durability to cover 150 km and 5860 meters of climbing across the Beskid Niski mountains.
Extreme distance
Covering 150 kilometers requires specialized pacing, fatigue resistance, and continuous forward movement over many hours.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 5860 meters of elevation gain demands strong uphill efficiency and resilience in the quadriceps for sustained descents.
Terrain durability
Traversing the wild trails of the Beskid Niski mountains places high repetitive impact stress on the lower limbs and joints.
Given the duration of an event of this distance, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output.
Estimated finish times
Estimates by level, not promises. Your own number depends on your fitness on the day.
