What the course asks

Time limit 7.5 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Among the tightest 50K cut-offs we track. Measured against 982 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~6 Tiny. You will run alone for most of it.

DUV results for the 2025 edition (50km (Partial)) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
