Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 40 km walking event demands sustained endurance to cover a long distance on foot over the course of a day.
Endurance capacity
Covering 40 km requires continuous movement for many hours, placing significant demand on aerobic capacity and muscular endurance.
Impact durability
The high volume of footsteps over a long-distance walk demands robust lower-body durability to manage repetitive impact stress.
A 40-kilometer walk will likely take well over 2.5 hours, requiring a steady intake of 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
