Official event pageWhat this race demands
Östgöta Ultra Trail demands sustained endurance and technical running over a 55 km distance with 1700 meters of elevation.
Distance endurance
Covering 55 km requires significant muscular durability and aerobic conditioning to sustain forward progress over many hours.
Technical trail running
The scenic and technical wilderness trails require continuous footwork adaptation and balance, increasing neuromuscular fatigue.
Climbing and descending
Accumulating 1700 meters of elevation gain demands strong climbing efficiency and eccentric leg strength for descents.
Given the duration of a 55 km trail run, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output.
