Official event pageWhat this race demands
Mammutmarsch Berlin is a 42-kilometre walking event held in November that requires prolonged endurance and resilience against late-autumn conditions.
Extended endurance
Covering 42 kilometres entirely on foot demands exceptional muscular and cardiovascular stamina over many consecutive hours of movement.
Seasonal resilience
The November timing in Berlin means athletes must contend with cool, potentially damp conditions and reduced daylight hours throughout the effort.
A walking effort of this duration requires consistent carbohydrate intake of 30 to 60 grams per hour to maintain energy levels and prevent late-stage fatigue.
