Definition

World Athletics lists fixed-time events such as 6-hour, 24-hour and multi-day races as a major ultra-running category. These are often held on repeat loops or tracks, changing pacing, fueling and logistical demands.

Practical use

Plan by elapsed time, repeat access to aid, loop length and sleep/rest strategy where relevant, not only by target pace per kilometer.
