Official event pageWhat this race demands
Megamarsch Weserbergland demands continuous forward progression over 100 kilometers and 1200 meters of elevation on foot.
Ultra-Distance Endurance
Covering 100 kilometers on foot requires severe muscular and cardiovascular endurance, demanding sustained movement across many hours without major rest.
Climbing Volume
Accumulating 1200 meters of elevation gain over the route adds a notable climbing load that tests lower-body resilience on ascents and descents.
Extended Durability
A continuous walking effort of this magnitude creates high cumulative mechanical stress on joints and connective tissue, requiring sound structural durability.
Target 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour using easily digestible foods and fluids to sustain energy across the multi-hour duration.
Estimated finish times
Estimates by level, not promises. Your own number depends on your fitness on the day.
