Answer

What are the biggest risks in an ultra-endurance run across Europe?

The main risks are muscle injuries, tendon problems, dehydration and a weakened immune system, especially when the effort continues day after day. For a route ending in Mallorca, weather changes, route disruptions and limited recovery time can make things harder. A team needs medical checks, rest days and backup transport if the body starts to fail.
