Race For You difficulty

3.6/ 10

Moderate

Moderate evidence confidence · 62% evidence coverage

This score is driven most by balanced overall demands. 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

Expect forest trail that may change character in wet conditions.

trailforestmixed

28.8m per km

A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.

Cutoff analysis

Lower pressure

To finish inside 14h, the raw average required is 16:19 per kilometre (26:15 per mile), including every stop.

16:19/km

Lower 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.

Data Partial

The current organiser and entry pages confirm 10 October 2026, 32 miles, 14 hours, £85, capacity 100 and three refuel zones. The linked route measures 31.321 miles/50.406km and publishes a different ascent, so both discrepancies remain edition-specific conflicts.
