Ultra-distance endurance

Covering 106 km requires prolonged aerobic effort and the ability to manage pace and energy across a long race.

Climbing capacity

The 6,200 m of elevation gain makes repeated, sustained uphill work a central physical demand.

Long-effort durability

The distance combined with the climbing requires legs and connective tissues to tolerate substantial accumulated effort while continuing to run or move efficiently.

For an effort likely to last well over 2.5 hours, plan to take in roughly 60–90 g of carbohydrate per hour, adjusted to what you can tolerate.
