Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Stavanger Marathon demands sustained cardiovascular endurance over a 42.2 km road and gravel distance with moderate elevation change.
Aero-Metabolic Endurance
Covering the full marathon distance of 42.2 km requires a highly developed aerobic engine to maintain continuous forward motion over several hours.
Surface Adaptation
The combination of road and gravel sections demands muscular resilience in the lower legs to handle varying traction and impact profiles.
Target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy output across the multi-hour duration of a marathon.
