What this race demands

Ultra Pirineu demands sustained mountain climbing capacity and extreme muscular durability across 100 kilometers and 6600 meters of elevation change in the Pyrenees.

Climbing volume

The course requires negotiating 6600 meters of vertical gain over 100 kilometers, demanding relentless uphill efficiency and muscular strength.

Descent durability

Covering high mountain terrain in the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park over a 100-kilometer distance places heavy eccentric loading on the quadriceps during extended descents.

Duration management

The scale of a 100-kilometer mountain ultra requires careful pacing and metabolic control to sustain output over many hours of effort.

Given the extended duration of this 100-kilometer mountain ultra, athletes should target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output.
