Antarctic 100k Race
Calculated from 100 km alone — the organiser has not published an elevation profile. Read 5.0 as a floor, not a verdict.
What the course asks
DUV results for the 2024 edition (100km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
Typical conditions, December
Regional 2001-2020 average for December — NASA POWER, grid elevation 717 m. Not a forecast.

Gear for this race
Chosen for 100 km of trail.
- Trail Running Shoes 100 km of trail — cushioning that is still there in the last quarter.
- Race Nutrition Past 100 km the palate quits before the legs do — carry more than one flavour.
- Hydration Vests Flask capacity for 100 km, without the bounce.
- Headlamps 100 km almost certainly means running into the night.
- Accessories Chafe and blisters end more 100 km races than fitness does.
