Official event pageWhat this race demands
Kennedymars Someren demands continuous forward progression over an 80-kilometer walking distance through the Brabant region.
Ultra-distance endurance
Covering 80 kilometers entirely on foot requires exceptional aerobic stamina and the structural capacity to sustain locomotion over many hours.
Musculoskeletal durability
The prolonged impact of an 80-kilometer hike places high repetitive stress on the lower limbs and feet, requiring thorough preparation against fatigue-induced breakdown.
Given the extended duration of an 80-kilometer hike, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy balance throughout the event.
