FAQs
How fit do I need to be for an MTB marathon?+
Marathon MTB rewards a high power-to-weight ratio because of the climbing involved — many events suit 3.5 W/kg and up. Each race page lists its typical W/kg range and elevation.
Are MTB stage races harder than gravel races?+
Generally yes — they combine big climbing with technical descending and back-to-back days. Handling skill matters far more than in most gravel events.
