What this race demands

This 68.3 km trail race demands sustained aerobic endurance across a massive 4,141 meters of vertical gain. Runners must navigate technical ridgelines and wooded paths through both day and night formats.

Climbing volume

Accumulating 4,141 meters of elevation gain over 68.3 km requires relentless uphill output and prolonged muscular engagement.

Technical durability

Navigating technical ridgelines and wooded paths demands high levels of lower-leg stability, focus, and eccentric quadriceps strength for descents.

Night navigation

Operating across day and night trail formats requires the ability to maintain pace, footing, and focus in low-light conditions.

Given the extended duration, athletes should target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain output across the 68.3 km distance.
