Moderate evidence confidence · 77% evidence coverage
This score is driven most by technical terrain. 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 sustained upland ground and meaningful climbing, sections where foot placement and downhill confidence matter, forest trail that may change character in wet conditions.

Climbing density
29.9m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
Moderate pressure
Cutoff Pressure V2 is governed by the tightest published active-time stage: Northern mountain loop, with 12h for 48.3km. Its course-adjusted allowance is 10.57 minutes per effort-kilometre.
Governing stage pace14:54/km
PressureModerate 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?
A realistic target for a prepared runner with some trail or ultra experience, but not the softest possible introduction to the distance.
5.5/10 suitability
Navigation
fully marked
The route is described as marked, but runners should still read the final race instructions.
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.

Data PartialThe official page verifies the 10–11 April 2027 dates, 97K headline distance, £345 price, five pit stops and fully marked two-stage format. Stage ascent is converted from 3,500ft and nearly 6,000ft. The listed stages total 58 miles while the headline says 60, and the day-two overview conflicts with its detailed finish cutoff; 24 hours uses the two detailed 12-hour stage windows and should be rechecked before race day.
