What this race demands

The SV-RKD Marsch demands sustained physical endurance across a 22 km hiking distance.

Aerobic endurance

Covering a 22 km distance on foot requires sustained cardiovascular capacity and muscular stamina for several hours of continuous movement.

Pacing control

Managing effort over a multi-hour hike around the Greifensee requires consistent energy distribution to prevent premature fatigue.

A 22 km hike will likely exceed 2.5 hours, so athletes should target 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
