What this race demands
This 80 km trail run demands prolonged aerobic endurance and sustained muscular resilience over an ultra-distance footrace.
Ultra Distance Endurance
Covering 80 km requires exceptional cardiovascular capacity and the ability to sustain forward motion for many hours on foot.
Trail Surface Resilience
Navigating a trail run demands joint durability and stabilizing strength to handle varied off-road terrain over an extended duration.
A sustained effort of this duration requires continuous carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain energy levels and prevent deep fatigue.
