What this race demands

Aerobic endurance
Covering the full marathon distance of 42.195 km demands high aerobic capacity and efficient pacing over several hours.
Impact durability
Running entirely on paved road surfaces requires structural resilience in the lower limbs to withstand repetitive high-impact forces.
A sustained intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour is required to maintain energy levels throughout the duration of the marathon.
