Course map and elevation profile
What the weather is usually like here
- Over the last 5 years this week typically ran 15°C to 25°C here, with a high of 29°C and a low of 12°C.
- 34% of those days saw rain. A real forecast lands about two weeks out and will appear here then.
- Typical daily maximum wind was 14 km/h (a light breeze), with 19 km/h the highest value in the sample.
- Sunrise 06:14, sunset 20:51.
The race is more than two weeks out, so these are averages of recent years for the same week, not a forecast. A real forecast appears here closer to the day.

The published GPX measures 51 km with 3650 m of climbing, 72 m per km. The course sits between 2313 m and 3371 m of altitude. 46% of the gain sits in the first half.
- 0-6.8 km · Start → Hydration Station #1: 521 m up / 328 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 6.8-15 km · Hydration Station #1 → Hidden Peak #1: 904 m up / 255 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 15-24 km · Hidden Peak #1 → AF Canyon: 115 m up / 1080 m down; the stretch descends.
- 24-29 km · AF Canyon → Water Pipe: 730 m up / 5 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 29-32 km · Water Pipe → Mineral Basin: 145 m up / 269 m down; the stretch descends.
- 32-36 km · Mineral Basin → Tunnel: 505 m up / 316 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 36-41 km · Tunnel → Hidden Peak #2: 477 m up / 363 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 41-51 km · Hidden Peak #2 → Finish: 254 m up / 1034 m down; the stretch descends.
The first 4 km are rolling but heavy: 206 m up and 187 m down. This is not a warm-up; hike early when the effort rises and keep the descents controlled enough to settle your breathing and stride.
The longest drag runs from km 1 to km 15: net 896 m over 14 km at 7% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 26%, 1361 m of climbing in total with 465 m given back. It tops out at 3301 m. Heaviest kilometres: km 6 160 m, km 5 136 m, km 14 134 m, km 12 131 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 24 to km 34: net 1050 m over 10 km at 10% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 46% on the GPX trace, 1387 m of climbing in total with 337 m given back. It tops out at 3368 m. Heaviest kilometres: km 33 209 m, km 34 161 m, km 27 146 m, km 26 144 m. Running is off the table only in the steepest roughly 250 m core; hike that part with short steps and run again once the grade eases.
The late climb from km 38 to km 40: 450 m over 2.3 km at 19% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 31% on the GPX trace. It tops out at 3332 m. Kilometre by kilometre: km 39 191 m, km 40 228 m. By the time you start it, about 80% of the day's climbing is behind you. Running is not on the menu at this grade; settle into a hike from the bottom and load the poles, short steps.
The longest descent starts at km 40 and loses 869 m by km 51 at 8% 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 15 averages 24% 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 534 m. If anything is left in your legs, spend it here.
You reach the climb after AF Canyon with about 1080 m of descent already in your quads; treat its first half as recovery effort.
A steep pitch starts within about 1.5 km of Tunnel; keep the stop short and do not enter it on cooled-down legs.
- The organiser lists 50 km; the published GPX measures 50.5 km. The organiser lists 3450 m of climbing; the published GPX measures 3650 m. The technical course notes use the published GPX measurement.
- This course reaches 3371 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran 10°C to 19°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 12 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.
- Even at cut-off pace you finish 1 hour 21 minutes before sunset. This one is run entirely in daylight.
- Poles are strongly recommended for this profile. The course averages 72 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 14 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
- 27% of the course is steep descent. Increase your cadence instead of braking, or your quads go early.
- Arrive early for the altitude. The course tops out at 3371 m, and coming up from sea level on race morning costs you more than any training block gains. Get to the area a few days ahead and let your body adjust.
- The altitude is not a single summit: about 51 km of the course sits above 1800 m, 49 km above 2400 m, 18 km above 3000 m. The longest unbroken stretch up high is 51 km and the high zone spans roughly km 0 to km 51. About 100% of the total climbing happens in that thin air, so recalibrate your effort to the altitude, not the gradient alone.
- At km 4 you pass right by the finish area with 46.5 km still to go; the noise there breaks more races than the climbs do.
- Km 44.3 to 46.7 is the same ground you covered at km 10.3; 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.

Hidden Peak #2km 41
- Collect food and fluids and leave within 60-90 seconds.
- Crew access is allowed here.
- Cut-off: 10h 45m after the start.
- The longest gap between official aid stations is 9 km, from Hidden Peak #1 (km 15) to AF Canyon (km 24). Split your fluid accordingly.
- Drinks only, no food, at Hydration Station #1 (km 7) and AF Canyon (km 24) and 2 more. Loosen the flask caps on approach; with no queue, refill and leave in 20-30 seconds. Carry the food you will need from the previous station.
- Food is available at Hidden Peak #1 (km 15) and Mineral Basin (km 32) and 2 more. Decide what you need before reaching the table; without a planned special task, collect food and fluids and leave within 60-90 seconds. Finish eating on the next calm, suitable section.
- Crew support is permitted only at Start (km 0), Hidden Peak #1 (km 15), Tunnel (km 36), Hidden Peak #2 (km 41), and Finish (km 51). This is not the same as a drop bag: plan equipment and food hand-offs around these stations, then verify wristband, bag and transport rules with the organiser.
- The heaviest leg runs from Hydration Station #1 (km 7) to Hidden Peak #1 (km 15): 8 km with 907 m of climbing. Treat it as the slowest part of your day and get your food out before it.
- Medical support is available at Start (km 0), Hidden Peak #1 (km 15), Tunnel (km 36), Hidden Peak #2 (km 41), and Finish (km 51). If something is wrong with your feet or your stomach, deal with it there rather than pushing on.
- About 2 km after Mineral Basin (km 32), a roughly 250 m section averaging 46% begins. Choose food you know you digest easily and fill the bottles, then enter the climb at a controlled effort.
- The overall cut-off is 13h, including all checkpoint stops. Build the plan around the official leg budgets below, not a flat-course average pace.
- Relative to distance and climbing, the tightest official time budget runs from Start to Hidden Peak #1 (km 15): the official time budget is 3h 40m for 15 km and 1424 m of climbing. Station stops come out of that same budget, so do not enter the leg already behind schedule.
