What this race demands
This 43-kilometer trail run demands sustained endurance and the ability to maintain running mechanics over a prolonged distance without stated elevation gain.
Aerobic endurance
Covering 43 kilometers requires a highly developed aerobic base to sustain forward motion over several hours of continuous trail running.
Musculoskeletal durability
The repetitive impact of a 43-kilometer distance on natural trail surfaces demands robust structural resilience in the lower limbs and core.
A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain glycogen stores and performance.
