Official event pageWhat this race demands
Mammutmarsch Wien is an extreme 50-kilometer hiking challenge held in April around Vienna that requires sustained endurance over varied terrain.
Continuous Endurance
Covering a 50-kilometer distance on foot demands prolonged cardiovascular exertion and extensive time on feet without significant rest.
Structural Durability
The extreme distance places high cumulative impact stress on the lower limbs, requiring sound musculoskeletal resilience to prevent structural breakdown.
Pacing Discipline
An ultra-distance hike of this magnitude requires strict energy management and consistent pacing from the start to delay systemic fatigue.
A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent carbohydrate intake of 30 to 60 grams per hour to maintain energy levels and prevent late-stage depletion.
