The Ötztaler Radmarathon is a demanding 227-kilometre ride starting and finishing in Sölden and crossing four Alpine passes with 5,500 metres of elevation gain.
What this race demands
The Ötztaler Radmarathon requires sustaining high power over 227 kilometres and four Alpine climbs totalling 5,500 metres of elevation gain.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 5,500 metres of vertical gain across four major passes demands sustained climbing capacity and efficient pacing on extended ascents.
Extended endurance
The 227-kilometre distance places high demands on aerobic capacity and muscular endurance over a very long duration in the saddle.
Descending and recovery
Crossing four high Alpine passes requires technical descending skills and the ability to recover physically between intense climbing efforts.
A sustained effort of this duration requires continuous carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain energy availability.
