Official event pageWhat this race demands
Penyagolosa Trails MiM demands sustained uphill and downhill capability across a 60-kilometer mountain course with 3300 meters of elevation gain.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 3300 meters of vertical gain over 60 kilometers requires significant muscular endurance and efficient pacing on steep gradients.
Muscular durability
The lengthy profile places heavy eccentric loading on the lower limbs during sustained descents across the mountain terrain.
A duration well exceeding 2.5 hours requires consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrate per hour to maintain energy output.
Estimated finish times
Estimates by level, not promises. Your own number depends on your fitness on the day.
