What this race demands
This 46-kilometer hike with 2,800 meters of elevation gain demands sustained endurance and significant uphill climbing capacity over many hours.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 2,800 meters of vertical gain across the route requires consistent uphill locomotion and resilient lower-body strength.
Muscular durability
A distance of 46 kilometers on foot places high repetitive stress on the joints and stabilizing muscles, necessitating strong pacing discipline.
Extended duration
Completing this volume of hiking will take many hours, requiring careful management of energy expenditure and physical fatigue.
A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent exogenous carbohydrate intake of approximately 30 to 60 grams per hour to maintain energy levels.
