Official event pageWhat this race demands
La Sportiva Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB demands sustained endurance and significant vertical proficiency across 120 km and 5,800 metres of elevation gain in the Dolomites.
Ultra Endurance
Covering 120 km requires exceptional aerobic capacity and structural resilience to keep moving efficiently over many hours.
Vertical Climbing
Accumulating 5,800 metres of elevation gain demands strong climbing legs and the muscular endurance to repeatedly ascend and descend steep mountain terrain.
A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain energy levels and prevent late-race depletion.
