Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 30 km walking event demands sustained muscular endurance and cardiovascular stamina to complete a long-distance route on foot.
Distance endurance
Covering 30 kilometers on foot requires continuous forward locomotion over several hours, placing high demands on lower-limb durability and structural resilience.
Pacing discipline
Completing a multi-hour walking course requires managing energy output effectively from the start to avoid premature fatigue over the long distance.
A 30 km walk will likely exceed 2.5 hours of continuous movement, so athletes should aim for a steady intake of 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
