The thüringenULTRA is an ultramarathon held on a demanding 100 km circuit featuring over 2150 metres of elevation gain and crossing the Rennsteig twice.
What this race demands
The thüringenULTRA demands sustained endurance over a 100 km trail running distance and 2150 metres of climbing.
Ultra Distance Endurance
Covering 100 km on a circuit requires maintaining a consistent forward progression and managing physiological fatigue over many hours.
Climbing Capacity
Accumulating 2150 metres of elevation gain across the course demands efficient ascending and descending strength on trail terrain.
Circuit Management
Racing a multi-segment circuit that crosses the Rennsteig twice requires strategic pacing and consistent energy replenishment.
A target intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour is recommended given the extended duration of the event.
