3.4/ 10
Beginner-friendly
Moderate evidence confidence · 69% 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.

Cutoff analysis
Lower pressure
To finish inside 14h, the raw average required is 15:16 per kilometre (24:34 per mile), including every stop.
Raw pace15:16/km
PressureLower 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.
Because ascent is not verified, Cutoff Pressure V2 uses the model's neutral 20m/km reference density. This assumption does not fill the ascent value or make missing evidence look easy.
Who this suits
First ultra?
One of the more approachable options in its distance bracket, provided you prepare for the full distance and practise the required kit and pacing.
9/10 suitability
Navigation
fully marked
The route is described as marked, but runners should still read the final race instructions.
Exposure & kit
moderate kit
Some entrants may run into darkness depending on pace and start time. Prepare lighting even if your best-case plan finishes earlier.

Prediction unavailable
No current compatible predictor target is available for this family. The selected edition may be complete or cancelled, awaiting a successor, non-standard, or missing model-critical course evidence; older facts are not substituted.

Data PartialThe official event page verifies the 17 October 2027 date, 55K distance, 07:00–21:00 course window, three pit stops, full waymarking/support and £160 price. Elevation remains unpublished; 14 hours is the published course-open window rather than a pace-derived estimate.
