What this race demands

The Grampians Peaks Trail 100 Miler demands relentless climbing capacity and structural resilience to cover 162 kilometres and 7,700 metres of elevation across technical terrain.

Climbing volume

Accumulating 7,700 metres of elevation across 162 kilometres requires sustained muscular endurance on prolonged ascents and eccentric strength to manage steep descents.

Technical durability

Traversing the entire mountain range over technical rocky terrain and single-track demands high concentration and postural stability to prevent premature fatigue.

Given the extended duration, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output throughout the event.
