8:24 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Among the tightest 50K cut-offs we track. Measured against 1007 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~36 Small. Long stretches with nobody in sight.
