It’s a stage race so it’s 6 days. Averages to a Marathon a day.

No. It’s a stage race so it’s 6 day. Averages to a Marathon a day, but the final day is short so that everyone gets to finish line about the same time. To make up for he short day one day is always 40-50 miles.
Backpacks weight 20-25 pounds at the start and goes down to 10-12 by race end.
Is it a run or a fast hike?
I do 20-30 with about 25-35lbs on my back, but thats moving for 8-10hrs a day. Bet thats nice having shelter and hot water at the end of the day. can get right to recovery for next day

It’s both at times. Some terrain isn’t runnable by even the most accomplished runners.

It was mostly sand and we had 18,000 feet of cumulative climbing during the 170 miles
I just did 44 miles and about 13k in ascent, 9k descent. just under 48 hrs on the AT got fricking tendinitis around both ankles havent been able to walk well since.
I am doing the Mont Blanc trail next summer, game plan is 7-8 days for 110 miles, but enjoying the views a bit more
GL on your adventure

Exactly a real man would go across the whole thing instead of making a bitch little triangle

It is Spring time in Antarctica, and December is the start of summer. Close to the coast the route these guys are following the temperature could be as high as the mid 50sF, further inland it still could be above freezing.
