What this race demands
This 50-kilometer endurance walk along the coast demands continuous, low-intensity forward progression over an extended duration of up to 12 hours.
Musculoskeletal durability
Covering 50 kilometers on foot places sustained, repetitive impact stress on the lower limbs and joints, requiring specific preparation for high stride counts.
Extended aerobic stamina
The 12-hour completion window requires an efficient aerobic system capable of sustaining a steady pace and managing fatigue over many hours of continuous movement.
Pacing discipline
Managing effort over a long single-day distance prevents premature energy depletion and ensures steady movement from start to finish.
Given the duration of up to 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.
