What the course asks

Time limit 10 hours 12:00 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. About average for a 50K. Measured against 999 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~361 Large. Rarely out of sight of another runner.

DUV results for the 2024 edition (50km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
