9:45 min/km average. Comfortable. Room to walk the climbs and stop at aid. Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Tighter than 79% of 50 mi races. Measured against 455 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~22 Small. Long stretches with nobody in sight.
