What this race demands

The Wereldhaventocht demands sustained endurance to complete a 38-kilometer urban walking route on foot. Participants must maintain forward progress over a long duration on city terrain.

Distance endurance

Covering 38 kilometers on foot requires a high level of aerobic durability and muscular stamina to sustain a walking pace for many hours.

Terrain resilience

Navigating a city route featuring port areas, bridges, and historic sights demands repetitive loading on hard urban surfaces and sound joint resilience.

Given a duration well exceeding 2.5 hours, athletes should target 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the walking tour.
