Official event pageWhat this race demands
Pochod Praha-Prčice is a 70-kilometer organized hike that demands exceptional muscular endurance and time-on-feet management. Athletes must sustain forward locomotion over an ultra-distance walking format.
Ultra distance capacity
Covering 70 kilometers entirely on foot requires specialized structural conditioning to withstand hours of continuous impact and forward movement.
Pacing discipline
The extreme distance requires a conservative early pace to prevent premature fatigue and muscle breakdown over the course of the day.
Muscular durability
Sustained walking over many hours places prolonged repetitive stress on the lower limbs, requiring strong postural and stabilizer endurance.
A 70-kilometer hike will take many hours to complete, requiring consistent carbohydrate intake of 30 to 60 grams per hour alongside adequate hydration to maintain energy balance.
