What the course asks
Time limit 12.5 hours
15:00 min/km average. Generous. Walkable throughout for most of the field. Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. More forgiving than 78% of 50K races. Measured against 1007 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~18 Tiny. You will run alone for most of it.
DUV results for the 2026 edition (50km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
