Official event pageWhat this race demands
The OG Yeti 100 Mile Endurance Run demands relentless forward progression over 160.9 kilometers of mountain terrain in the Appalachian region. Athletes must manage extreme duration and cumulative fatigue to finish.
Ultra Distance
Covering 160.9 kilometers requires exceptional aerobic endurance and pacing discipline to sustain forward motion over an extended period.
Climbing Volume
Navigating 1896 meters of elevation gain across the Appalachian mountains demands sustained muscular endurance in the legs and core.
Extended Durability
A continuous effort of this magnitude places high stress on joints and soft tissues, requiring structural resilience to withstand repetitive impact over many hours.
Due to the extreme duration of this event, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy availability and delay glycogen depletion.
