Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Megamarsch Frankfurt demands extreme continuous endurance to cover 100 kilometers on foot within a strict 24-hour window.
Continuous Locomotion
Covering 100 kilometers requires sustained forward progression for many hours, placing high stress on the musculoskeletal system and feet.
Pacing Discipline
Sustaining a consistent walking pace across day and night is essential to complete the distance within the 24-hour limit.
Moderate Climbing
Navigating 1190 meters of elevation gain over a long route requires persistent low-grade climbing capacity through forests and fields.
Given the exceptionally long duration of this event, participants should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the effort.
