Race For You difficulty
3.6/ 10
Moderate
Limited evidence confidence · 53% 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 PartialThe organiser and organiser-controlled entry verify 9 July 2028, £90 and a 40-place field. The detailed 34.8-mile route is stored. A four-miles-per-hour requirement and checkpoint closures are intermediate controls, not an explicit overall finish cutoff, so cutoffHours remains null. Official distance and ascent components conflict and are retained with Medium confidence.
