endurance race
Long-distance athletic contest
An endurance race is a competition testing participants' ability to sustain effort over extended distances or time periods.
The term applies across sports—ultramarathons, 24-hour cycling events, long-distance swimming, and motorsport races like Le Mans that run for hours or days.
The emphasis is on stamina and pacing rather than pure speed: She trained for months before attempting her first endurance race.
