Official event pageWhat this race demands
Ultra-Trail Małopolska requires an athlete to sustain forward motion across a massive 240-kilometer trail running distance in May.
Extreme distance
Covering 240 kilometers demands exceptional muscular endurance and the capacity to manage fatigue over multiple days of continuous movement.
Prolonged pacing
The immense duration requires strict adherence to a conservative, sustainable output to prevent early systemic breakdown.
Given the multi-day duration of a 240-kilometer effort, athletes must consistently consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy balance.
