What the course asks

Time limit 7 hours 7:00 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Among the tightest 50K cut-offs we track. Measured against 982 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~7 Tiny. You will run alone for most of it.

DUV results for the 2026 edition (37mi) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
