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

Time limit 13 hours 7:48 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Tighter than 88% of 100K races. Measured against 203 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →

Field size ~805 Very large. Congested start, busy aid stations.

DUV results for the 2024 edition (100km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
