What the course asks
Time limit 10 hours
12:00 min/km average. Comfortable. Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. About average for a 50K. Measured against 1038 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~29 Small. Long stretches with nobody in sight.
DUV results for the 2025 edition (50km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
