What the course asks

9:36 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. About average for a 100K. Measured against 203 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~268 Large. Rarely out of sight of another runner.
DUV results for the 2023 edition (100km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
