Race briefing
60K course59 km · 1854 m gain · 25% uphill
- Steep climb (10%+)
- Climb (3-10%)
- Flat
- Descent
- Steep descent (12%+)
The published GPX measures 59 km with 1854 m of climbing, 31 m per km. The course sits between 5 m and 337 m of altitude. 57% of the gain sits in the first half.
- 0-9.7 km: 409 m up / 79 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 9.7-15 km: 69 m up / 305 m down; the stretch descends.
- 15-49 km: 1081 m up / 1140 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
- 49-56 km: 284 m up / 63 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 56-59 km: 7 m up / 264 m down; the stretch descends.
The race climbs from the gun: 61 m over the first 4.8 km. Do not chase the crowd, the two minutes you win here get taken back with interest.
The backbone of the course runs from km 2 to km 10: net 330 m over 7.8 km at 4% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 18%, 409 m of climbing in total with 79 m given back. Heaviest kilometres: km 8 111 m, km 6 99 m, km 5 92 m, km 10 35 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 56: net 225 m over 6.7 km at 3% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 12%, 285 m of climbing in total with 60 m given back. Kilometre by kilometre: km 50 22 m, km 51 25 m, km 52 41 m, km 53 52 m, km 55 81 m, km 56 65 m. By the time you start it, about 84% 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 10 and loses 235 m by km 15 at 4% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 18%. 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 47 averages 28% 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 climb 154 m and then drop 309 m. Walk the climb, take the descent back, and hold the sprint until the drop is done.
- This course reaches 337 m. A separate forecast for the high-point coordinate gives 14°C to 17°C, wind up to 54 km/h (near gale force); the organiser may shorten the course. It is a daily forecast for that coordinate, so arrival time can still change what you encounter.
- Consider bringing poles. The course averages 31 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 2.2 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
- Km 38 to 44 is the same ground you covered at km 28.9; note your pace on the first pass and use it as the yardstick on the second.
Course-profile notes are generated from GPX grade data; terrain, rules, aid stations and weather are added only when separately sourced.

- Steep climb (10%+)
- Climb (3-10%)
- Flat
- Descent
- Steep descent (12%+)
The published GPX measures 34 km with 1103 m of climbing, 33 m per km. The course sits between 5 m and 337 m of altitude. 52% of the gain sits in the first half.
- 0-9.7 km: 412 m up / 82 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 9.7-15 km: 70 m up / 305 m down; the stretch descends.
- 15-23 km: 326 m up / 390 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
- 23-30 km: 289 m up / 63 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 30-34 km: 7 m up / 264 m down; the stretch descends.
The first 2.7 km are close to flat, good for settling in. Do not set your pace here, the real course starts after.
The backbone of the course runs from km 2 to km 10: net 330 m over 7.8 km at 4% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 19%, 412 m of climbing in total with 82 m given back. Heaviest kilometres: km 8 111 m, km 6 99 m, km 5 91 m, km 10 35 m. This is hiking terrain, not running terrain. Walk it with intent and keep your heart rate off the ceiling.
The climb between km 23 and km 30: net 230 m over 6.9 km at 3% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 12%, 290 m of climbing in total with 60 m given back. Kilometre by kilometre: km 24 19 m, km 25 27 m, km 26 34 m, km 27 62 m, km 29 71 m, km 30 74 m. By the time you start it, about 73% of the day's climbing is behind you. 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 10 and loses 235 m by km 15 at 4% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 18%. 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 21 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 4 km drop 254 m. If anything is left in your legs, spend it here.
- This course reaches 337 m. A separate forecast for the high-point coordinate gives 14°C to 17°C, wind up to 54 km/h (near gale force); the organiser may shorten the course. It is a daily forecast for that coordinate, so arrival time can still change what you encounter.

The published GPX measures 22 km with 642 m of climbing, 29 m per km. The course sits between 5 m and 337 m of altitude. 64% of the gain sits in the first half.
The first 1.8 km are close to flat, good for settling in. Do not set your pace here, the real course starts after.
The backbone of the course runs from km 2 to km 10: net 330 m over 7.8 km at 4% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 19%, 412 m of climbing in total with 82 m given back. Heaviest kilometres: km 8 111 m, km 6 99 m, km 5 91 m, km 10 35 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 16 to km 18: 147 m over 2 km at 7% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 10%. Kilometre by kilometre: km 17 43 m, km 18 92 m. By the time you start it, about 76% of the day's climbing is behind you. On paper it is runnable. On tired legs it will not feel that way, so take the pressure off early.
The longest descent starts at km 10 and loses 216 m by km 16 at 3% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 10%. 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 19 averages 19% over its steepest roughly 250 m section; shorten the stride, stay balanced and set speed to the ground instead of braking continuously.
The last 2.6 km drop 172 m. If anything is left in your legs, spend it here.
- This course reaches 337 m. A separate forecast for the high-point coordinate gives 14°C to 17°C, wind up to 54 km/h (near gale force); the organiser may shorten the course. It is a daily forecast for that coordinate, so arrival time can still change what you encounter.
- Poles are optional: 29 m of gain per km. Bring them to protect your legs, not to gain speed.
- 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.
