Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 201 km hiking pilgrimage requires sustaining multi-day forward momentum across secondary roads.
Extended Distance
Covering 201 km on foot demands exceptional aerobic endurance, tissue durability, and load management over consecutive days of effort.
Terrain Adaptability
Navigating secondary roads requires physical resilience against repetitive impact forces and variable underfoot conditions.
Given the multi-day nature of a 201 km hike, athletes should aim for a steady hourly intake of 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates during active movement to sustain energy levels.
