As a general guideline, ultra-distance athletes like those who participate in the Spine Race may need to consume between 200-400 calories per hour to maintain their energy levels throughout the race. This means that over the course of a 24-hour day, a racer might need to consume anywhere from 4,800-9,600 calories just to keep going.
