Calculated from 90 km alone — the organiser has not published an elevation profile. Read 4.5 as a floor, not a verdict.

What the course asks

Time limit 16.5 hours 11:00 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. About average for a 50 mi. Measured against 486 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →

Field size ~95 Mid-sized. Company early, well spread out by halfway.

DUV results for the 2025 edition (90km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
