4.2/ 10
Moderate
Moderate evidence confidence · 79% evidence coverage
This score is driven most by exposure and self-sufficiency. Difficulty V2's separate time-limit modifier adds 0.00 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
The course combines trail, road, mixed terrain.
trailroadmixed
Climbing density
14.2m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
High pressure
Cutoff Pressure V2 is governed by the tightest published active-time stage: South, with 10h for 59km. Its course-adjusted allowance is 8.87 minutes per effort-kilometre.
Governing stage pace10:10/km
PressureHigh pressure
The governing stage pace includes stops made during that stage. Between-stage recovery and sleep are excluded from active running allowance, so a broad multi-day event window cannot hide a tighter stage.
Who this suits
First ultra?
There is not enough verified information to assess first-ultra suitability yet.
Navigation

Exposure & kit
extensive kit
Some entrants may run into darkness depending on pace and start time. Prepare lighting even if your best-case plan finishes earlier.
