What this race demands

This 100 km long-distance hiking and running event demands extreme muscular endurance and continuous forward movement over an exceptionally long duration.

Extreme Distance

Covering 100 km requires a deep base of aerobic endurance and the structural durability to withstand hours of continuous impact.

Pacing Discipline

Sustaining forward motion across a traditional long-distance format demands strict energy management to prevent early depletion.

Given the ultra-endurance duration of this event, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output.
