What this race demands

Aerobic Endurance

Covering the full 42.2-kilometer marathon distance demands deep aerobic conditioning and efficient pacing over an extended duration.

Impact Durability

Running continuously for over forty kilometers places significant mechanical load on the lower limbs and requires sustained muscular resilience.

Consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy stores throughout the extended duration of the marathon.
