How to Fuel a 200-Mile Ultramarathon: Carbs, Calories, Real Food, Electrolytes & Multi-Day Nutrition

By Chase Hammond, Founder of Ultraverse Supplements and Ultraverse Races

Fueling a 200-mile ultramarathon is not just fueling a 100-miler twice. That sounds obvious, but it changes almost everything.

A 100-mile race might take someone 20, 24, 30 or 36+ hours. A 200-mile race can stretch across multiple days and nights, with planned sleep, major changes in temperature, appetite, pace and mental state, and a much larger cumulative energy deficit. At that point, fueling stops being just a race-day nutrition problem. It becomes a multi-day nutrition problem.

The basic priorities are still the same: keep carbohydrate, fluid and electrolytes coming in consistently enough to support performance without overwhelming your gut. But over 50, 60, 70 or even 100+ hours, you also have to account for sleep, real food, digestion, appetite changes, flavor fatigue and the fact that your gut may tolerate very different things at hour 50 than it did at hour five.

I have completed four 200+ mile races: the Moab 240 twice, Tahoe 200 once and Bigfoot 200 once. Three of those came in the same calendar year as part of the Triple Crown of 200s. Those races were dramatically different, but my basic fueling strategy was not.

The foundation has consistently been liquid carbohydrate and electrolytes while moving, with real food used strategically at aid stations—especially before longer stops or sleep.

For races of 100 miles or less, I personally prefer fueling almost entirely with Proxima C because it gives me a predictable carbohydrate and electrolyte intake without introducing a bunch of additional variables. During a 200-miler, I still want that same predictable foundation while I’m moving, but I am much more willing to sit down and eat real food along the way.

You’re out there for days. At some point, food becomes part of the strategy.

If you are looking specifically for a 100-mile strategy, start with our guide on how to fuel a 100-mile ultramarathon.

How is fueling a 200-miler different from fueling a 100-miler?

The biggest difference is duration. Doubling the distance does not necessarily mean simply doubling the time on your feet. Once races stretch into multiple days, runners accumulate more fatigue, sleep deprivation, foot problems, longer aid-station stops and greater pace deterioration.

That matters nutritionally because you are asking your digestive system to cooperate for an extraordinarily long time. The longer the event, the more important consistent calorie intake becomes, along with using foods and fuels you already know your stomach tolerates, adjusting intake as conditions change, fueling around sleep and avoiding one bad nutrition decision that costs you hours.

The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends roughly 150–400 calories per hour during ultramarathon racing, while emphasizing individual tolerance, duration and food palatability. It also recognizes that food preferences can change as an ultra gets longer, including an increased preference for savory foods and greater dietary variety.

That calorie range is useful, but in a 200 the most important question is not simply, “How many calories can I eat in one hour?”

It is, “How many calories can I keep taking in hour after hour for days?”

Consistency beats theoretical perfection.

How many calories per hour should you eat during a 200-mile ultramarathon?

• Calories: roughly 150–400 per hour
• Carbohydrate: enough to provide a meaningful and sustainable energy supply
• Fluid: based on thirst, weather, pace and individual sweat rate
• Sodium: based on fluid intake, sweat losses, conditions and the rest of your nutrition
• Real food: added strategically as appetite and race logistics allow

Personally, while moving during a 200, I generally target roughly 280–360 calories per hour from Proxima C, depending on gut tolerance, temperature, pace and how I am feeling. That is not a prescription for every runner. It is what I have found works for me.

Trying to force 400 calories per hour because it looks great on paper is useless if your stomach shuts down six hours later.

How many carbs per hour for a 200-miler?

Carbohydrate remains the primary dietary fuel you are trying to supply while racing. As in a 100-mile race, there is no benefit to chasing an intake that your gut cannot tolerate. A higher hourly intake is only valuable if you can continue absorbing and using it.

For prolonged endurance exercise, carbohydrate recommendations commonly extend into the 60–90 gram per hour range, with some trained athletes capable of tolerating even more. But a 200 adds another layer to the question: whatever number you choose has to remain tolerable for an extraordinarily long time.

This is where gut training matters. If you want to race on 75 or 90 grams of carbohydrate per hour, practice that intake in training. Do not train at 30 grams per hour and suddenly decide at mile zero of a 200-miler that today is the day to triple it.

A 200-mile race is one of the worst possible places to discover that your fueling plan does not agree with you.

Why I use mostly liquid calories while moving

For me, liquid nutrition works because it is predictable. I know exactly how much carbohydrate, sodium and energy I am taking in. I can reproduce it in training. I do not have to keep guessing whether the food sitting on an aid-station table is going to agree with me.

That matters even more in a 200. When I am actually moving, I prefer Proxima C Ultra as the backbone of my fueling plan. When I reach an aid station and know I have time to stop, sit down or sleep, that is when I become much more liberal with real food.

My philosophy there is pretty simple: If it sounds good, I eat it.

During a multi-day race, I am not trying to build a nutritionally perfect meal. I need calories. Real food also naturally introduces more protein, fat, minerals, savory flavors and variety.

But timing matters. If I eat a large meal and immediately take off running, it often does not sit well. If I know I am going to sleep, I will load up on food before I lie down. That gives me time to digest while I am off my feet.

If I eat a decent-sized meal and leave the aid station immediately, I will often deliberately walk or lower my pace for the first few miles. That is something I am much more willing to do in a 200 than in a 100.

In a 200-miler, digestion becomes part of pacing strategy. Sometimes slowing down for a few miles is faster than spending the next 12 hours unable to eat.

Why carbohydrate choice matters in a 200-mile race

Not all carbohydrate drinks behave the same way in the stomach.

One of the reasons we use Cluster Dextrin® in Proxima C Ultra is its gastric-emptying characteristics. Highly branched cyclic dextrin has been studied specifically for how quickly carbohydrate solutions leave the stomach.

In one controlled study, a sports drink based on 10% highly branched cyclic dextrin at approximately 150 mOsm emptied significantly faster than a comparable dextrin-based sports drink with higher osmolality. Importantly, that HBCD drink also contained minerals, vitamins and organic acids, and the researchers concluded that it could deliver carbohydrate, fluid and minerals simultaneously without increasing gastric-emptying time.

That matters in ultrarunning because you are trying to deliver meaningful amounts of carbohydrate for hours at a time without creating a concentrated mass that feels like it is just sitting in your stomach.

Personally, fuels based around Cluster Dextrin consistently work better for me. Sucrose- and maltodextrin-dominant fuels tend to sit heavier in my stomach and cause bloating. Cluster Dextrin-based fuels have consistently been easier for me to tolerate over long distances.

That is one of the reasons Proxima C Ultra uses 15 grams of Cluster Dextrin per serving, alongside 15 grams of Palatinose™. Those are premium carbohydrate sources selected because we wanted specific endurance characteristics from each one—not simply the cheapest way to put 30 grams of carbohydrate into a scoop.

Why Proxima C Ultra also contains Palatinose™

Cluster Dextrin is only half of the carbohydrate system in Proxima C Ultra.

The other half is Palatinose™, or isomaltulose, a lower-glycemic carbohydrate that provides a slower and steadier glucose response than faster carbohydrate sources such as maltodextrin.

Why put that in an ultramarathon fuel?

Because during an ultra, carbohydrate is not doing all of the work. At the relatively low intensities typical of very long races, stored body fat contributes substantially to total energy production.

In a randomized controlled trial of trained cyclists, Palatinose consumed before prolonged exercise resulted in greater fat oxidation and lower carbohydrate oxidation compared with maltodextrin, along with a more stable blood-glucose profile.

That does not mean Palatinose somehow makes body fat disappear or eliminates the need for carbohydrate. It means its metabolic profile may allow greater reliance on stored fat while carbohydrate remains available to support performance.

That is a major reason we chose it.

Proxima C Ultra combines 15 grams of Cluster Dextrin with 15 grams of Palatinose per serving because we wanted a carbohydrate system built around the realities of ultrarunning: meaningful carbohydrate delivery, rapid gastric-emptying characteristics, steady energy and the ability to work alongside the enormous amount of stored energy already available in body fat.

One section of the Moab 240 cost me about 12 hours

I learned the importance of sticking with a tested fuel the hard way at the 2024 Moab 240.

There was one particularly long section where I got lazy. Instead of carrying enough Proxima C with me like I normally would, I decided to use the race-supplied drink. I already knew that type of formulation had caused stomach problems for me in the past, but I used it anyway.

One section was enough. My stomach went sideways, and I struggled to take in adequate calories for roughly the next 12 hours.

At 200+ miles, that is a massive price to pay for convenience.

The lesson was not that every runner needs to use the same fuel I do. The lesson was: Do not abandon a fueling system you know works simply because something else is available at the next aid station.

In a 200-mile race, “whatever they have there” is not a nutrition strategy. Use training to find out what your stomach tolerates, then bring enough of it with you.

And if you are relying heavily on liquid nutrition, make the carbohydrate system part of that decision—not just the flavor on the label.

Why real food becomes more important in a 200-miler

I still prefer liquid calories as the backbone of my fueling while I am moving, but a 200 is long enough that I want more than sports nutrition for the entire race.

At aid stations, especially ones where I know I am going to sit down or sleep, I will eat real food. I am not trying to make it perfectly “healthy,” and I am not worried about whether it fits some idealized race-day meal plan. If something sounds good and I know I can get it down, I eat it.

That matters because after enough hours, appetite and food preferences change. Research on ultramarathon nutrition has specifically noted that prolonged races can alter food palatability and appetite, while sleep deprivation, temperature and accumulated fatigue can all influence what runners are willing and able to eat.

Real food also naturally broadens the nutrition coming in. You are more likely to pick up some protein, fat, sodium, other minerals, different textures and savory flavors without having to micromanage any of it. In a 200, I care much more about keeping total energy intake up and keeping food appealing than I do about trying to build some perfectly optimized plate.

That philosophy also matches our broader Ultraverse fueling guide, where we encourage real food during multi-day events for variety, macronutrients, micronutrients and relief from taste fatigue.

Digestion becomes part of pacing strategy

The biggest mistake I can make with real food is eating too much and then immediately trying to push the pace again.

That does not work well for me.

If I eat a substantial meal at an aid station and know I am going to sleep soon, that is ideal. I can eat a lot, lie down and give my body some time to digest before I head back out.

If I eat a decent meal and leave right away, I usually lower my pace for a while. I may walk the next few miles rather than immediately trying to force my normal pace.

That is something I am much more willing to do in a 200 than I would be in a 100. The race is long enough that losing a little speed while I digest is not a big deal. What is a big deal is wrecking my stomach and then losing the ability to fuel for hours.

Sometimes slowing down to digest is faster than spending the next 12 hours unable to eat.

What about protein and fat during a 200-mile race?

Carbohydrate is still the primary fuel I am intentionally targeting while I am moving. I do not suddenly start counting grams of protein and fat every hour just because I am in a 200.

Those nutrients tend to come in naturally through real food.

That is one of the advantages of sitting down and actually eating during a multi-day race. The longer the event gets, the more appealing savory foods and foods containing more protein and fat can become, and ultra-endurance nutrition guidance recognizes that food preference and macronutrient intake can shift as race duration increases.

For me, there is no need to overcomplicate it. I use Proxima C to provide the carbohydrate and electrolytes I want consistently while I am moving, and then real food naturally fills in some of the rest.

That combination works better for me than trying to make one product do absolutely everything for two, three or four days.

How I fuel before and after sleep

Sleep is another reason fueling a 200 is fundamentally different from fueling most 100-mile races.

When I know I am going to sleep at an aid station, I will usually eat a substantial amount beforehand. This is one of the best opportunities in the race to take in a larger meal because I know I am about to stop moving and give my stomach time to work.

I am not afraid of eating a lot before sleep. If something sounds good, I take advantage of it.

When I wake up, I want to get back into my normal fueling rhythm rather than waiting hours for hunger to return. Appetite can get weird when you are sleep deprived and have been moving for days, so relying entirely on hunger is not always a great strategy.

Overnight, my fluid and sodium intake will often decrease naturally because I am usually drinking less. That is not because I suddenly have a different nutrition philosophy at night. It is because temperature, sweat rate, intensity and thirst are often different.

That is why I do not like rigid hydration plans that say every runner needs to drink the exact same amount every hour regardless of conditions.

How much sodium do you need during a 200-mile ultramarathon?

This is one of the most misunderstood parts of ultramarathon nutrition.

I constantly hear runners talk about needing a specific number of milligrams of sodium every hour as if there is one correct number that applies to everybody.

There is not.

Sodium intake has to make sense relative to how much fluid you are taking in, how much you are sweating, how salty your sweat is, temperature, intensity and how much sodium you are getting from food.

That is a much better way to think about it than simply saying, “I need 600 mg every hour” without paying attention to anything else.

Research on exercise-associated hyponatremia reinforces that fluid intake matters enormously. Excessive fluid consumption relative to losses is one of the major drivers of dilutional hyponatremia, and sodium intake cannot protect someone who is dramatically overdrinking.

That is why the relationship between fluid and sodium matters more to me than chasing an isolated sodium-per-hour number.

Proxima C makes this simple because the carbohydrate and electrolytes come together in the drink. I am not trying to separately micromanage three different systems every hour. As my fluid intake changes, my intake from the drink naturally changes with it, and I can supplement from food or additional electrolytes when conditions and my own needs call for it.

What should you do when your stomach starts going bad?

One of the most common reactions I see when a runner gets nauseated is to stop taking in calories and electrolytes and switch to plain water.

I understand why. When your stomach feels terrible, water sounds safe.

But completely abandoning nutrition can make a bad situation even harder to recover from.

If you continue sweating while taking in little or no sodium and then aggressively drink plain water, you can create a mismatch between fluid intake and sodium balance. Excessive intake of water or other hypotonic fluids relative to losses is a major risk factor for exercise-associated hyponatremia.

The answer is not necessarily to force the exact same fueling rate that made you sick in the first place. Sometimes the better move is to slow down, cool off, reduce the intake rate, change the flavor or fuel source, and give your stomach some time to recover.

What I do not like is the all-or-nothing approach where a runner goes from taking in carbohydrate and electrolytes to taking in nothing but water for the next six or eight hours.

In a 200-mile race, that can turn a temporary stomach problem into a much larger energy problem.

The goal is to troubleshoot the problem without completely abandoning the fundamentals. Persistent vomiting, confusion, severe headache or worsening symptoms are a different situation and warrant evaluation by race medical staff rather than simply adjusting your nutrition.

Flavor fatigue is real in a multi-day race

Even if you absolutely love a particular drink or food at mile zero, there is no guarantee it is going to sound good 40 or 50 hours later.

Now that Proxima C Ultra is available, I would actually use our two Proxima C formulas to my advantage during a 200. Ultra and Endurance Fuel have very different flavor profiles, and both are generally less sweet than many endurance fuels. That gives me another way to fight flavor fatigue without abandoning the fueling system I already know works.

I would still rely mostly on Proxima C Ultra during a 200 because it was built more specifically for very long-duration racing, but having Endurance Fuel available gives me a second familiar option when I want a significant change in flavor.

You can compare the two formulas on our Proxima C Ultra page, where we break down Ultra versus Endurance Fuel ingredient by ingredient.

Real food serves the same purpose in a different way. Sometimes I want something salty. Sometimes something warm. Sometimes something greasy sounds amazing. At that point, I am not worried about whether it would appear in somebody’s “perfect endurance nutrition” infographic. I am worried about continuing to eat.

A 200-mile fueling strategy has to survive changes in appetite. If your entire plan depends on one flavor or one type of food still sounding good two days later, you probably need a more flexible plan.

A simple 200-mile fueling framework

There is no single fueling plan that will work for every runner, but a good 200-mile strategy can be surprisingly simple.

While moving, I want a consistent source of carbohydrate, fluid and electrolytes that I already know my stomach tolerates. For me, that is primarily Proxima C Ultra.

At aid stations, I use real food to add calories and variety. I do not overthink the exact macronutrient breakdown. If it sounds good and I think my stomach can handle it, I eat it.

Before sleep, I take advantage of the opportunity to eat more. If I am going to be off my feet anyway, that is a great time to let my body digest a larger meal.

After a substantial meal, I am willing to walk or reduce my pace for a while rather than asking my stomach to process a bunch of food while I immediately try to push the pace.

If my stomach starts going bad, I adjust instead of panicking. Slow down, cool off if necessary, reduce the intake rate, change what you are taking in and give the gut a chance to recover. Do not automatically abandon carbohydrate and electrolytes and spend the next several hours drinking nothing but plain water.

The details change constantly during a 200. The foundation should not have to.

The biggest fueling mistakes I see in 200-mile races

One of the biggest mistakes is treating a 200 like two consecutive 100-mile races. It is not. You are dealing with sleep, multiple nights, changing weather, greater food variety, longer aid-station stops and a digestive system that has been working for days.

Another mistake is relying too heavily on whatever a race happens to provide. Aid-station food is great, but I would never build my primary fueling strategy around the assumption that an unfamiliar product will agree with me when I am already exhausted.

Eating too much and immediately trying to move at your normal pace can also cause problems. A big meal may be exactly what you need, but give your stomach a chance to deal with it.

I also see runners get too rigid with sodium. They decide they need a certain number of milligrams every single hour and keep chasing that number regardless of how much they are drinking, how much they are sweating or what the weather is doing.

And finally, one of the worst mistakes is allowing temporary nausea to turn into a six-hour nutrition shutdown. Sometimes you have to back off. Sometimes you need to change what you are consuming. But the goal should generally be to find a way back to fueling rather than simply abandoning it.

The race itself changes how you execute the plan

One of the interesting things about 200-mile racing is that the same nutrition principles can look very different depending on the event.

Ultraverse currently has six different races where a runner can reach or exceed 200 miles: Hawkeye 200, Summit 200, Cowboy 200, The Sticks 72-Hour, The Pilgrimage and Front Range Ultra Dayze.

At Cowboy 200, runners are traveling point-to-point across Nebraska on a non-technical rail trail, with long stretches of continuous forward movement. That makes carrying enough of the fuel you already know works extremely important.

At Hawkeye 200, the course is also primarily point-to-point but is intentionally semi-self-supported, with long stretches between official aid stations. Nutrition logistics matter as much as the nutrition itself—you have to know what you need and make sure you can access it.

Summit 200 creates a completely different problem. The course sits above 9,000 feet, climbs beyond 12,700 feet and accumulates roughly 40,000 feet of climbing. Pace, temperature, altitude and appetite can all behave very differently there than they do on a flat rail trail.

Timed events such as The Sticks 72-Hour and Front Range Ultra Dayze provide more frequent access to your own nutrition, which can make a controlled fueling strategy much easier to execute. The Pilgrimage, with 150 hours and multiple routes, creates another kind of multi-day challenge where adaptability becomes part of the event itself.

You can see the full Ultraverse race lineup on our race calendar and event page.

The basic physiology has not changed. What changes is how you deliver the nutrition.

That is why you should practice not only what you are going to consume, but how you are going to carry it, mix it, access it and replace it throughout the race.

Where Proxima C Ultra fits into a 200-mile fueling plan

Proxima C Ultra was designed specifically around the demands of long-duration ultrarunning. Each serving provides 30 grams of carbohydrate, 120 calories and 250 mg of sodium, along with potassium, magnesium and calcium. Its carbohydrate system is split evenly between 15 grams of Cluster Dextrin® and 15 grams of Palatinose™.

That makes the hourly math extremely simple:

Proxima C Ultra per hour	Carbohydrate	Calories	Sodium
2 servings	60 g	240	500 mg
2½ servings	75 g	300	625 mg
3 servings	90 g	360	750 mg

Personally, my moving intake during a 200 generally ends up around 280–360 calories per hour, depending on conditions and gut tolerance. That puts me roughly in the range of 2½ to 3 servings per hour when Proxima C is doing the majority of the work.

The point is not that every runner should copy that exact number. The advantage is that the product makes your intake predictable.

If you know how many servings you are drinking, you know how much carbohydrate, energy and sodium you are getting. That makes it much easier to adjust intelligently when temperature, pace or appetite changes.

And Proxima C Ultra was intentionally built around premium carbohydrate sources rather than the cheapest way to put 30 grams of carbohydrate in a scoop.

Cluster Dextrin was selected in part for its gastric-emptying characteristics. Palatinose was selected in part for its steady metabolic profile and evidence supporting greater fat oxidation compared with maltodextrin under studied endurance conditions. Together, they give Proxima C Ultra a carbohydrate system designed specifically for the long haul.

I do not use Proxima C because I think someone should live exclusively on powder for three days. I use it because I want the moving portion of my fueling strategy to stay as predictable as possible.

Then I use real food around it.

That is the combination that works for me.

Should you fuel a 200-mile race entirely with liquid calories?

You can get a very large percentage of your race calories from liquid fuel, and personally I prefer doing exactly that while I am moving.

But I would not plan to consume nothing but sports drink for an entire multi-day race.

A 200 gives you enough time and enough opportunities to eat real food that I think it makes sense to use them. Real food adds variety, can help combat flavor fatigue and naturally introduces protein, fat and a wider range of nutrients.

For me, the simplest way to think about it is:

Liquid fuel while moving. Real food when I have time to digest it.

That is not an absolute rule, but it is a very good starting framework.

Do you have to eat solid food during a 200-miler?

You do not have to eat any specific solid food to finish a 200-miler.

You do not suddenly fail a 200 because you did not eat pizza at mile 120.

What matters is that you continue getting enough energy to keep moving and that whatever you consume is tolerable.

That said, I think real food becomes increasingly useful as the event stretches across multiple days. I personally take advantage of it, especially before sleep or during longer aid-station stops.

How many carbs per hour should you consume during a 200-mile race?

There is no single correct number for everyone.

A practical target for many trained endurance athletes falls somewhere in the 60–90 gram-per-hour range, but the amount only helps if your gut can tolerate it. If you want to consume 75 or 90 grams per hour during the race, practice doing that before race day.

Your gut is trainable.

A 200-mile race is not the place to find out whether your fueling strategy works.

How many calories per hour should you consume?

A general range of roughly 150–400 calories per hour is a published starting range for ultramarathon racing, but the correct number depends on the runner, intensity, conditions, duration and what the stomach will tolerate.

My own target while moving is usually around 280–360 calories per hour.

The most important thing is not hitting a perfect number during one isolated hour. It is sustaining useful intake across the entire event.

How much sodium should you take during a 200-mile race?

There is no universal sodium-per-hour number that applies to every runner.

Sodium needs should be considered alongside fluid intake, sweat rate, sweat sodium concentration, weather, intensity and sodium coming from food.

If you are drinking much more because it is hot, your needs may look very different than they do during a cold night when fluid intake naturally falls.

Think about sodium and fluid together, not as unrelated hourly targets.

What should you do if your stomach stops tolerating calories?

Do not assume the answer is to stop fueling completely.

Slow down. Reduce the intake rate. Cool yourself if heat is contributing. Change the fuel source or flavor if necessary. Give your stomach time to settle.

The goal is to find your way back to sustainable intake.

Going hours without calories because you had one bad period can create a much larger problem later in the race.

What should you eat before sleeping during a 200?

I personally use sleep stops as an opportunity to eat more real food.

If I know I am going to lie down anyway, I will eat whatever sounds good and take advantage of the time off my feet to digest it.

That gives me calories, more dietary variety and a chance to start the next section of the race without immediately asking my stomach to process a large meal while I am running.

Is Proxima C Ultra a good fuel for 200-mile ultramarathons?

That is exactly the kind of racing it was designed for.

Proxima C Ultra provides carbohydrate and electrolytes together, with Cluster Dextrin® and Palatinose™ providing 30 grams of carbohydrate per serving. It was specifically developed for ultrarunners and long-duration efforts rather than treating a 200-mile race like a slightly longer marathon.

For me, the biggest advantage in a 200 is predictability. I want a fuel I have trained with, that I know my stomach tolerates, and that allows me to calculate my carbohydrate and electrolyte intake easily.

Then I use real food strategically around it.

Build a 200-mile fueling plan you can actually execute

A 200-mile ultramarathon is long enough that your fueling plan has to work when everything is going well, when your appetite changes, when you are exhausted, when you are cold, when you are hot, when you are running, when you are walking and when you are waking up after an hour of sleep wondering what the hell day it is.

That is why I like keeping the foundation simple.

Use a carbohydrate and electrolyte fuel that you have tested extensively. Keep calories coming in while you move. Eat real food when you have the opportunity and time to digest it. Adjust your intake to conditions instead of blindly chasing numbers, and do not let one bad stomach stretch turn into half a day without nutrition.

For me, Proxima C Ultra is that foundation.

It was built for long-duration ultrarunning with premium carbohydrate sources—Cluster Dextrin and Palatinose—plus electrolytes in every serving. It gives me a predictable way to keep carbohydrate and electrolytes coming in while I am moving, while real food handles a different job during longer stops.

A 200 is already complicated enough.

Your fueling does not need to be.
