What this race demands
This 100 km walking event demands sustained endurance and meticulous pacing over a multi-day effort in late December conditions. Athletes must manage high cumulative mileage on foot while navigating the varying terrain between Osaka, Nara, and Mie.
Continuous Durability
Covering 100 km requires exceptional physical and mental resilience to withstand hours of continuous locomotion without mechanical or structural failure.
Winter Thermal Management
The late December timing means athletes must adapt to cold seasonal temperatures during a prolonged outdoor effort that spans multiple days.
Given the multi-hour duration of a 100 km walk, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour alongside adequate hydration to maintain energy balance.
