Long-duration endurance
At 62.6 km, the race requires sustained aerobic effort over a long distance. Pacing and energy management matter because the effort lasts well beyond a typical road marathon.
Climbing volume

Climbing and descending durability
The elevation gain entails substantial changes in elevation over the course. Runners need to preserve muscular strength and control as they alternate between climbing and descending.
For a race likely to take well over 2.5 hours, plan for about 60–90 g of carbohydrate per hour.
