Official event pageWhat 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.
