Race For You difficulty

3.9/ 10

Moderate

Moderate evidence confidence · 58% 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.

Data Partial

The official Ultra Running Ltd page verifies 2028-06-03, the 45-mile headline product, a £90 standalone entry and 4 intermediate checkpoints. Official headline: 45 miles; detailed checkpoint table: 42 miles. The standalone field is limited to 20, with up to 20 additional MTC Scotia runners sharing the day. Entrants receive route maps/GPX shortly before the race, carry mandatory navigation and safety kit, and use organiser live tracking; the route is therefore stored as self-navigation rather than marked. The page links a booking flow but available inventory was not independently verified, so registration remains UNKNOWN. Preset checkpoint controls use a 4mph minimum; they are not collapsed into an invented universal finish cutoff. The route-profile climb is stored as approximately 862m.
