What this race demands

Aerobic endurance

Covering the full 42.2 km marathon distance demands high aerobic capacity and efficient energy utilization over several hours of continuous running.

Impact resistance

The road running format places continuous repetitive loading on the lower limbs, requiring high muscular and structural durability to maintain pace.

A consumption of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour is recommended to sustain energy levels throughout the duration of the marathon.
