The published GPX measures 70 km with 1758 m of climbing, 25 m per km. The course sits between 176 m and 747 m of altitude. 46% of the gain sits in the first half.
- 0-32 km: 445 m up / 566 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
- 32-35 km: 356 m up / 162 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 35-44 km: 442 m up / 66 m down; the stretch climbs.

- 55-70 km: 128 m up / 407 m down; the stretch descends.
The first 5 km drop 62 m. Fresh legs make it feel free, but you climb every metre of it back.
The steepest wall stands between km 32 and km 34: 353 m over 2.1 km at 17% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 40% on the GPX trace. Kilometre by kilometre: km 33 264 m, km 34 63 m. Running is not on the menu at this grade; settle into a hike from the bottom and load the poles, short steps.
The backbone of the course runs from km 35 to km 44: net 375 m over 8.8 km at 4% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 12%, 441 m of climbing in total with 66 m given back. Heaviest kilometres: km 36 87 m, km 40 72 m, km 37 71 m, km 39 65 m. This is hiking terrain, not running terrain. Walk it with intent and keep your heart rate off the ceiling.
The late climb from km 49 to km 55: 363 m over 5.9 km at 6% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 16%. Kilometre by kilometre: km 50 19 m, km 51 36 m, km 52 36 m, km 53 123 m, km 54 91 m, km 55 57 m. By the time you start it, about 72% of the day's climbing is behind you. At this point in the day most runners walk this gradient. Settle into a hiking rhythm and let the metres come.
The longest descent starts at km 44 and loses 534 m by km 49 at 10% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 24%. Its length can load the quads, so begin under control and build rhythm only when the ground and visibility allow it. The drop at km 34 averages 22% over its steepest roughly 250 m section; shorten the stride, stay balanced and set speed to the ground instead of braking continuously.
The last 6 km drop 45 m. If anything is left in your legs, spend it here.
- The organiser lists 1935 m of climbing; the published GPX measures 1758 m. The technical course notes use the published GPX measurement.
- This course reaches 747 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran 8°C to 18°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 10 km/h, reaching 17 km/h in the sample. This is climate history, not the race-day forecast; keep the shell accessible if race week looks similar.
- Sunset is 17:48, 9 hours 48 minutes after the gun. If your target time is longer than that, carry a headtorch whether or not the rules demand one.
- Organiser rule: Runners who start with poles and leave them behind before the finish receive an additional 1-hour time penalty.
- Consider bringing poles. The course averages 25 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 5.9 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.

The longest descent starts at km 24 and loses 140 m by km 26 at 6% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 15%.
