金沢マラソン

What this race demands

The Kanazawa Marathon requires sustained pacing and structural durability to cover the full 42.2-kilometer standard marathon distance on city pavement.

A sustained effort lasting several hours requires exogenous carbohydrate intake of 30 to 60 grams per hour to maintain glycogen availability.
