Prepare for HERO with a precise nutrition strategy
At HERO, nothing is left to chance: every climb consumes energy, and every choice makes a difference. That is why, together with NamedSport, Official Partner of the event, a dedicated Nutrition Strategy has been developed and tested to support you throughout the entire race.
Three specific strategies - designed for the 86 km, 71 km and 60 km courses - will help you manage your energy, hydration and recovery in the most effective way.
On the longest 86 km course, nutrition management is continuous, alternating gels, bars and liquid supplementation to maintain focus and endurance all the way to the finish line.
On the 71 km course, the goal is balance and consistency, distributing nutrition intake effectively throughout the race.
On the 60 km course, the focus is rhythm: progressive energy intake, constant hydration and a lighter yet continuous approach.
And once you cross the finish line, the challenge is not over: recovery immediately becomes essential to support your muscles and quickly replenish mineral salts.
Because at the HERO Südtirol Dolomites, it is not only about reaching the finish line - but about how you manage every kilometre to get there.
