What this race demands

UTMB ETC demands relentless climbing capacity and muscular durability to manage 1,200 meters of vertical gain over a short 15-kilometer course.

Steep Climbing Power

Gaining 1,200 meters over just 15 kilometers requires sustained muscular output and cardiovascular capacity on steep ascents.

Eccentric Descending Durability

Descending the equivalent of the ascent over a short distance places high mechanical stress on the quadriceps and stabilizing muscles.
