What this race demands

Climbing volume
Overcoming 804 meters of elevation gain across a relatively short 17.4 km distance demands strong lower-body muscular endurance and the ability to sustain effort on steep ascents.
Alpine hiking durability
The alpine setting between Weißbach bei Lofer and Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden requires stable footing, proper pacing over varied terrain, and resilience for a multi-hour hiking effort.
A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent intake of 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the hike.
