Official event pageWhat this race demands
Travessa Matagalls-Montserrat requires sustained endurance to cover an 84.3 km mountain hike within the strict 24-hour completion limit.
Ultra-distance stamina
Covering 84.3 km on mountain trails demands exceptional aerobic endurance and the ability to sustain forward motion for many continuous hours.
Musculoskeletal durability
A continuous multi-hour mountain trek places high repetitive stress on the lower limbs, requiring robust structural conditioning to handle prolonged fatigue.
Given the extended duration likely lasting many hours, athletes should aim for 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the trek.
