What the course asks
Time limit 5.5 hours
7:20 min/km average. Firm. Sustained running. Long aid-station stops will cost you. Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Among the tightest Marathon cut-offs we track. Measured against 43 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~3 Tiny. You will run alone for most of it.
DUV results for the 2025 edition (28mi) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
