Calculated from 100 km alone — the organiser has not published an elevation profile. Read 5.0 as a floor, not a verdict.

What the course asks

Field size ~190 Mid-sized. Company early, well spread out by halfway.

DUV results for the 2025 edition (100km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
