Race For You difficulty

4.1/ 10

Moderate

Moderate evidence confidence · 57% 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 forest trail that may change character in wet conditions, exposed moorland where weather can amplify the difficulty.

Cutoff analysis

Very high pressure

To finish inside 8h, the raw average required is 9:36 per kilometre (15:26 per mile), including every stop.

9:36/km

Very high 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.

Because ascent is not verified, Cutoff Pressure V2 uses the model's neutral 20m/km reference density. This assumption does not fill the ascent value or make missing evidence look easy.

Who this suits

First ultra?

One of the more approachable options in its distance bracket, provided you prepare for the full distance and practise the required kit and pacing.

Data Partial

The official page verifies open entry on 7 November 2026, 50K, eight hours, £65, cap 300 and full marking. Aid count is unpublished; 321m is the route summit altitude rather than cumulative ascent, and the linked GPX is not edition-versioned.
