endurance event formats

Endurance event formats vary based on duration and activity type. Common types include timed races, like marathons or ultramarathons, where participants aim to cover as much distance as possible within a set period (e.g., 12 or 24 hours). Continuous races involve completing a fixed distance or course as quickly as possible, such as an ironman triathlon. Multiple-stage events combine several activities over days, like multi-day cycling tours. Some events emphasize consistent performance across many days, focusing on stamina and mental resilience. Overall, these formats test physical endurance, mental toughness, and strategic pacing.
