Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Salland Trail 100 km requires sustained cardiovascular endurance and muscular durability to manage an ultramarathon distance across early March forested hills and heathlands.
Ultra Distance
Covering 100 km demands exceptional pacing control, structural resilience, and meticulous energy management to sustain forward motion for many hours.
Terrain Adaptability
Navigating the varied forested hills and heathlands of the Sallandse Heuvelrug requires constant micro-adjustments in stride and continuous engagement of stabilizing muscles.
Early March Conditions
Racing in early March in the Netherlands involves managing cool ambient temperatures and potentially soft or wet trail surfaces over an extended duration.
A 100 km trail run will extend well beyond 2.5 hours, requiring a consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain glycogen stores and sustain output.
