Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 160.9-kilometer trail race requires continuous forward progression through a rugged and hilly forest reserve, demanding extreme endurance over a continuous multi-hour effort.
Ultra Distance Endurance
Covering 160.9 kilometers on foot requires specialized physical and psychological resilience to manage sustained fatigue over an extended duration.
Rugged Terrain Navigation
The heavily forested and hilly course conditions demand constant lower-body stability, careful footing, and continuous muscular adaptation to changing terrain.
Given the substantial duration of a 160.9-kilometer trail race, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain glycogen stores and sustain energy output.
