What this race demands
This 239 km ultratrail covering 4,416 meters of elevation gain requires exceptional continuous running durability and pacing discipline over multiple days.
Extreme Distance
Covering 239 km demands advanced structural endurance, repetitive impact management, and the ability to sustain forward motion under severe fatigue.
Climbing Volume
The 4,416 meters of elevation gain requires targeted uphill strength and efficient downhill preservation of the quadriceps over extended periods.
Multi-Day Management
An event of this length necessitates disciplined nighttime navigation, sleep management, and continuous management of nutrition and foot care.
Given the multi-day duration of this event, athletes must maintain a consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour alongside adequate sodium and fluid replacement to sustain energy levels.
