What the course asks

Time limit 9 hours 10:48 min/km average. Generous. Walkable throughout for most of the field. Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Tighter than 71% of 50K races. Measured against 1034 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~30 Small. Long stretches with nobody in sight.

DUV results for the 2026 edition (50km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
