Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Kitzbüheler Radmarathon demands sustained alpine climbing ability and severe endurance over 216 kilometres and 4,600 metres of elevation gain.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 4,600 metres of elevation gain across long alpine ascents requires relentless power output on steep grades.
Extended endurance
Covering 216 kilometres in a mountain environment places a heavy metabolic load on the athlete over many hours in the saddle.
Late-race stiffness
The course concludes with a brutal final climb up the Kitzbüheler Horn, requiring the ability to produce peak effort when deeply fatigued.
A sustained effort of this duration requires a continuous carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain performance and prevent severe glycogen depletion.
