Official event pageWhat this race demands
Megamarsch München demands continuous forward locomotion over 100 kilometers within a strict 24-hour time limit, testing both muscular endurance and psychological stamina.
Extended Endurance
Covering 100 kilometers on foot requires an exceptionally high volume of sustained, low-intensity aerobic output and repetitive-impact durability over many hours.
Time Management
Finishing within the 24-hour cutoff necessitates maintaining a steady overall pace with minimal and efficient rest stops throughout day and night.
Given the duration will easily exceed 2.5 hours and stretch up to a full day, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour alongside adequate fluid and electrolyte intake to maintain energy levels.
