Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Wandermarathon Ingolstadt requires sustained cardiovascular endurance to cover a full 42-kilometer hiking distance in the winter conditions of February.
Distance endurance
Covering the full 42-kilometer marathon distance requires hours of continuous forward progression and musculoskeletal durability.
Winter weather management

Given the likely duration of over four hours, athletes should aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels throughout the hike.
