Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 96.1-kilometer trail running race demands profound muscular durability and sustained aerobic output to conquer 3823 meters of elevation gain over an ultra-distance course.
Ultra Distance
Covering 96.1 kilometers requires exceptional pacing control, advanced fatigue management, and mental resilience to sustain forward motion over many hours.
Climbing Volume
Accumulating 3823 meters of elevation gain places a heavy load on the lower limbs, demanding strong uphill climbing strength and eccentric quad control for descents.
Given the ultra-endurance duration of the race, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels and prevent glycogen depletion.
Estimated finish times
