What the course asks
Time limit 12 hours
11:15 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it.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 50 mi. Measured against 445 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~68 Mid-sized. Company early, well spread out by halfway.
DUV results for the 2026 edition (40mi) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
