What this race demands

Aerobic endurance

Stage durability
Because the event spans multiple stages across Wanzhou, Wushan, and Yunyang districts, athletes must manage recovery and repeat efforts across consecutive days.
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy output for a ride of this distance and multi-stage format.
