What the course asks
Time limit 15 hours
9:00 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it.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 72% of 100K races. Measured against 208 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~137 Mid-sized. Company early, well spread out by halfway.
