- Steep descent (12%+)
The published GPX measures 49 km with 1621 m of climbing, 33 m per km. The course sits between 671 m and 1631 m of altitude. 72% of the gain sits in the first half.
- 0-4.9 km: 210 m up / 96 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 4.9-12 km: 303 m up / 61 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 12-16 km: 20 m up / 310 m down; the stretch descends.
- 16-29 km: 982 m up / 90 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 29-49 km: 103 m up / 1057 m down; the stretch descends.
The race climbs from the gun: 190 m over the first 3.9 km. Do not chase the crowd, the two minutes you win here get taken back with interest.
The climb between km 5 and km 12: net 242 m over 7.4 km at 3% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 15%, 303 m of climbing in total with 61 m given back. Kilometre by kilometre: km 6 70 m, km 7 33 m, km 8 34 m, km 10 37 m, km 11 53 m, km 12 33 m. This is hiking terrain, not running terrain. Walk it with intent and keep your heart rate off the ceiling.
The backbone of the course runs from km 16 to km 29: 892 m over 13 km at 7% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 18%. Heaviest kilometres: km 24 148 m, km 26 135 m, km 21 115 m, km 27 100 m. Trying to run this costs far more than it saves. Shorten the stride, lean on the poles, keep moving.
The longest descent starts at km 29 and loses 953 m by km 49 at 5% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 23%. 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 12 averages 27% over its steepest roughly 250 m section; shorten the stride, stay balanced and set speed to the ground instead of braking continuously.
The last 5.9 km drop 157 m. If anything is left in your legs, spend it here.
- The organiser lists 52 km; the published GPX measures 49.3 km. The technical course notes use the published GPX measurement.
- This course reaches 1631 m. A separate forecast for the high-point coordinate gives 3°C to 14°C, wind up to 18 km/h (a light breeze). It is a daily forecast for that coordinate, so arrival time can still change what you encounter.
- Sunset is 18:31, 8 hours 31 minutes after the gun. If your target time is longer than that, carry a headtorch whether or not the rules demand one.
- Poles are strongly recommended for this profile. The course averages 33 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 13 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
- The climbing is stacked into the first half. Start easy; even with less climbing later, the descents and accumulated fatigue still have to be managed.
Course-profile notes are generated from GPX grade data; terrain, rules, aid stations and weather are added only when separately sourced.

Kilometre by kilometre: km 6 69 m, km 7 33 m, km 8 40 m, km 10 36 m, km 11 59 m, km 12 30 m. Trying to run this costs far more than it saves. Shorten the stride, lean on the poles, keep moving.

Hike it and keep your heart rate away from the ceiling.
The longest descent starts at km 24 and loses 636 m by km 37 at 5% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 22%.

- Consider bringing poles. The course averages 32 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 8.5 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
