What the course asks
Time limit 14 hours
15:16 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. More forgiving than 79% of 50K races. Measured against 982 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →
Field size ~1,403 Very large. Congested start, busy aid stations.
DUV results for the 2025 edition (52km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
