Official event pageWhat this race demands
Megamarsch Hamburg demands continuous forward locomotion over 100 kilometers within a strict 24-hour time limit, testing both physical endurance and sleep deprivation resistance.
Extreme Distance
Covering 100 kilometers requires exceptional muscular and skeletal durability to withstand hours of continuous impact and repetitive motion.
Time-Limit Management
The 24-hour cutoff demands a consistent overall pace and efficient management of rest stops to prevent excessive deceleration.
Given the ultra-endurance duration likely exceeding 12 hours, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour alongside adequate fluids to sustain energy levels.
Estimated finish times
Estimates by level, not promises. Your own number depends on your fitness on the day.
