Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 123 km trail running event across the Yeongnam Alps demands exceptional aerobic endurance and prolonged physical management over an ultra-distance course.
Ultra Distance
Covering 123 km requires continuous forward movement and physiological stamina well beyond standard endurance events.
Mountain Terrain
Traversing the peaks of the Yeongnam Alps demands sustained muscular durability for varied off-road climbs and descents.
Late Autumn Conditions
An October event date means athletes must prepare for cool ambient temperatures and potential weather shifts during prolonged hours on the course.
Given the duration well exceeding 2.5 hours, athletes should target a consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels throughout the effort.
