3.7/ 10
Moderate
High evidence confidence · 84% evidence coverage
This score is driven most by balanced overall demands. Difficulty V2's separate time-limit modifier adds 0.35 points here and is capped at 0.70; a broad limit cannot erase extreme intrinsic demand. This is independent of the public Cutoff Pressure V2 band.
Weather, conditions and individual preparation can change the real difficulty significantly.

Course analysis
What shapes this race
Expect sections where foot placement and downhill confidence matter, forest trail that may change character in wet conditions.

Climbing density
16.1m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
High pressure
To finish inside 10h, the raw average required is 9:41 per kilometre (15:35 per mile), including every stop.
Raw pace9:41/km
PressureHigh pressure
Cutoff pressure compares the published time limit with distance, ascent and verified course demands. Lower pressure does not mean the race is easy. Raw pace includes checkpoints, food stops, navigation errors and any sleep; it is not a pacing plan.
Who this suits
First ultra?
Better suited to runners with prior ultra, mountain or technical-terrain experience than to somebody choosing their first ultra.
4.4/10 suitability
Navigation
fully marked
The route is described as marked, but runners should still read the final race instructions.
Exposure & kit
extensive kit
Night running is not expected for most entrants based on the current format, but final kit rules still take priority.

Data PartialCurrent organiser surfaces conflict among 62/52K and 63/52/63K labels; the dedicated ultra page's primary 62K is retained. The 52K option shares the entry and escape-route structure and is treated as a companion category in one family. Fully stocked stations are promised, but no exact count is inferred.
