Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Milazzo Marathon Swim Event is a 10 km open-water competition around the Capo Milazzo promontory that requires sustained aerobic endurance in late summer.
Aerobic endurance
Covering a 10 km swimming distance requires continuous cardiovascular output over an extended duration without the benefit of drafting structures found in cycling or running.
Thermal resilience
An August event date in Italy implies warm water and ambient air temperatures, demanding effective core temperature management during prolonged exertion.
Given the duration of a 10 km swim, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour through liquid feeds or approved support-craft handups.
