This is a formula for estimating energy expenditure during mountain climbing. I am borrowing the formula published in *Mountain Climbing Medicine*, 26(1): 115–121, 2006.
It can be applied not only to hiking but also to trail running.

[Trail Running Race Application Example] Based on the course profile (distance and cumulative elevation gain/loss) between aid stations and your estimated time, you can estimate the amount of energy you’ll expend between each aid station.
