Official event pageWhat this race demands
MammothMarch Texas demands continuous forward progression over a 32.2 km hiking circuit across hilly limestone terrain and the Paluxy River in February.
Extended Durability
Covering 32.2 km entirely on foot requires sustained muscular endurance and structural resilience over several hours of continuous movement.
Terrain Adaptability
Navigating hilly limestone terrain and river crossings demands joint stability, ankle strength, and careful pacing to manage uneven ground throughout the hike.
Late-Winter Thermal Regulation
A February event in Glen Rose requires managing body temperature through changing output levels and potential early-year weather variations.
Given the extended duration of a 32.2 km hike, athletes should aim for 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
