What the course asks

Time limit 11 hours 11:00 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 Climbing is unpublished, so this pace is a ceiling on the effort, not a measure of it.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 ~65 Mid-sized. Company early, well spread out by halfway.

DUV results for the 2025 edition (60km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
