What the course asks

Time limit 15 hours 9:00 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Tighter than 71% of 100K races. Measured against 214 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →

Field size ~137 Mid-sized. Company early, well spread out by halfway.

DUV results for the 2026 edition (100km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
