What this race demands
This marathon requires sustained cardiovascular endurance and structural durability to cover the 42.2-kilometer waterfront course from Kobe City Hall to Kobe Harborland and the coastal turnaround at Akashi.
Aerobic Endurance
Covering the full 42.2-kilometer marathon distance demands a highly developed aerobic energy system capable of sustaining steady output for hours.
Impact Durability
Running continuous pavement miles over the course distance requires strong lower-limb structural resilience to resist muscular fatigue and breakdown.
A target intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour should be maintained throughout the event to support continuous energy output over a duration exceeding three hours.
