Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Mississauga Marathon demands sustained aerobic endurance over a 42.2 km distance on a net downhill road course.
Aerobic endurance
Covering 42.2 km requires a deep aerobic engine and the cardiovascular capacity to sustain steady running for hours.
Downhill durability
The net downhill profile places continuous eccentric loading on the quadriceps and calves, demanding specific muscular resilience.
Pacing control
A fast course profile rewards disciplined early pacing to prevent premature fatigue before the waterfront finish.
Consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels over the marathon duration.
