The Nihon 3-Day March is Japan's largest and oldest international walking event, held annually in November in the Hiki Hills region centered around Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture.
What this race demands
This 50 km international walking event held in November requires sustained aerobic endurance over a full-day effort.
Aerobic endurance
Covering 50 km on foot demands continuous cardiovascular output over many hours, requiring strong low-intensity pacing strategies.
Musculoskeletal durability
The distance places heavy repetitive strain on the lower limbs and feet, necessitating careful conditioning and blister prevention.
A 50 km walk will take several hours, so athletes should target 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the day.
