What the course asks

Time limit 19 hours 22:48 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it. Among the most forgiving 50K cut-offs we track. Measured against 1034 races of the same distance. Cut-off calculator →

Field size ~249 Large. Rarely out of sight of another runner.

DUV results for the 2025 edition (50km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
