What this race demands
This 47.4 km hiking marathon demands sustained muscular endurance across more than fifteen hundred meters of climbing over a full day on trail.
Extended Duration
Covering 47.4 kilometers on foot requires a high level of aerobic conditioning and pacing discipline to manage fatigue over many hours of continuous movement.
Climbing Volume
The 1523 meters of elevation gain places significant mechanical load on the lower limbs, requiring resilient quads and calves for both ascents and descents.
Terrain Durability
Traversing premium hiking trails for the entirety of the distance demands joint stability and structural resilience to withstand repetitive impact.
Given the extended duration of a 47.4 km hike, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the effort.
