- Flat
The published GPX measures 21 km with 156 m of climbing, 7 m per km. The course sits between 1095 m and 1227 m of altitude.
- 0-5 km · Start → 1.İstasyon: 2 m up / 10 m down; close to flat.

- 15-21 km · 3. İstasyon → Finish: 24 m up / 22 m down; close to flat.
The first 1.7 km are close to flat, good for settling in. Do not set your pace here, the real course starts after.

- Even at cut-off pace you finish 5 hours 21 minutes before sunset. This one is run entirely in daylight.
- The profile does not show a clear need for poles: 7 m of gain per km. If you are not used to them, running with your hands free may be more comfortable.
