Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run requires sustaining forward momentum across 48.3 kilometers of rugged terrain over 2438 meters of elevation gain.
Climbing and Descending
Accumulating 2438 meters of elevation gain over a 48.3-kilometer distance demands exceptional muscular endurance and structural resilience in both the ascent and descent phases.
Trail Durability
Navigating a continuous 30-mile ultramarathon trail route requires pacing discipline to manage fatigue over an extended duration of continuous off-road locomotion.
Given the extended duration of this ultramarathon, athletes should target an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output.
