What the course asks

Time limit 14 hours 8:24 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it.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 85% of 100K races. Measured against 203 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~1,529 Very large. Congested start, busy aid stations.

DUV results for the 2026 edition (100km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.

  • Headlamps A 14 h limit puts you out there after dark.
  • Accessories Chafe and blisters end more 100 km races than fitness does.
