What this race demands
This 50-kilometer walking event demands sustained endurance across twelve hours of continuous movement through hilly terrain.
Sustained endurance
Covering 50 kilometers on foot requires a high level of cardiovascular and muscular stamina to maintain forward momentum over the course of a twelve-hour time limit.
Climbing volume
Navigating 750 meters of elevation gain through the hills of the Weimarer Land demands sufficient leg strength and postural durability to handle repeated ascents and descents.
A target intake of 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour will support energy levels throughout the expected multi-hour duration.
