What the course asks

Time limit 6 hours 7:04 min/km average. Firm. Sustained running. Long aid-station stops will cost you. Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Among the tightest 50K cut-offs we track. Measured against 1007 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →

Field size ~135 Mid-sized. Company early, well spread out by halfway.

DUV results for the 2023 edition (32mi) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
