What this race demands
This 50-kilometer night walk requires maintaining a steady locomotion pace for roughly twelve hours through Berlin. Athletes must sustain their effort and manage nutrition throughout an overnight duration.
Extended Endurance
Covering 50 kilometers over a 12-hour duration requires continuous physical output and deep muscular and aerobic stamina.
Overnight Management
Starting at 18:00 and continuing through the night means walkers must manage fatigue, fueling, and pacing across normal sleeping hours.
Consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels across the projected 12-hour duration.
