Official event pageWhat this race demands
This flat full-distance urban road marathon demands sustained pacing discipline and high aerobic efficiency over 42.195 kilometers.
Aerobic endurance
Covering the full 42.195 km marathon distance requires a highly developed aerobic energy system and strict pacing to prevent early glycogen depletion.
Impact durability
The continuous pounding of a road marathon over several hours demands robust structural durability in the lower limbs and joints.
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy output throughout the duration of the marathon.
