Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 52.9 km hike across the Sierra Nevada Natural Park demands sustained muscular endurance and structural durability over a full-day effort.
Extended Duration
Covering 52.9 km entirely on foot requires continuous forward locomotion for many hours, placing a heavy load on the lower limbs and cardiovascular system.
Terrain Adaptability
Traversing the Sierra Nevada Natural Park means managing varied mountain terrain and profiles that test joint stability and pacing discipline over the long distance.
A sustained effort of this length requires steady carbohydrate intake of 45 to 60 grams per hour alongside adequate hydration to maintain energy output.
