Race briefing
27K Run to Sky course28 km · 2984 m gain · 68% uphill
- Steep climb (10%+)
- Climb (3-10%)
- Flat
- Steep descent (12%+)
The published GPX measures 28 km with 2984 m of climbing, 108 m per km. The course sits between 3 m and 2321 m of altitude. 30% of the gain sits in the first half.
The first 2.2 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 27: net 2315 m over 25 km at 9% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 35% on the GPX trace, 2958 m of climbing in total with 643 m given back. It tops out at 2319 m. Heaviest kilometres: km 23 242 m, km 24 212 m, km 22 205 m, km 17 184 m. This is hiking terrain, not running terrain. Walk it with intent and keep your heart rate off the ceiling.
The longest descent starts at km 6 and loses 188 m by km 7 at 15% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 22%. Its length can load the quads, so begin under control and build rhythm only when the ground and visibility allow it.
The last 3.3 km climb 498 m to the line. Know it going in and save something for it.
- The organiser lists 27 km; the published GPX measures 27.5 km. The organiser lists 2666 m of climbing; the published GPX measures 2984 m. The technical course notes use the published GPX measurement.
- This course reaches 2321 m. At the high-point coordinate, the same week historically ran 1°C to 13°C. Typical daily maximum wind was 9 km/h, reaching 15 km/h in the sample. This is climate history, not the race-day forecast; keep the shell accessible if race week looks similar.
- Poles are strongly recommended for this profile. The course averages 108 m of gain per km and the longest climb averaging over 5% runs 25 km; if you have trained with them and the organiser allows them, use them on the climbs and stow them on runnable ground.
- Most of the climbing waits in the second half. Feeling good early is a trap here.
- The high point is 2321 m. Coming from sea level, your heart rate and breathing shift at the same pace, so leave yourself room in the first hour.
- The altitude is not a single summit: about 3.6 km of the course sits above 1800 m. The longest unbroken stretch up high is 3.6 km and the high zone spans roughly km 24 to km 28.
- Point to point: the finish sits 14.7 km from the start as the crow flies. Sort the shuttle and your drop bag before race day.
Course-profile notes are generated from GPX grade data; terrain, rules, aid stations and weather are added only when separately sourced.

- The route passes the start area 2 times, but the loops differ; the later section is ground you have not seen.
The organiser's GPX file has no elevation data, so the grade profile and kilometre analysis cannot be shown for this course; the climb figure is the one the organiser advertises.
