Race For You difficulty
6.8/ 10
Hard
Moderate input evidence · 70% evidence coverage
The main recorded demands are substantial race distance. Course difficulty and cutoff pressure describe different challenges: more approachable terrain can still require a demanding pace to beat the deadline. Neither score assesses your personal fitness, safety or readiness.
Scoring details and version
Difficulty V2's separate time-limit modifier adds 0.15 points here and is capped at 0.70; a broad limit cannot erase extreme intrinsic demand. This is independent of the public Cutoff Pressure V2 band. Evidence coverage describes the recorded inputs, not prediction accuracy or your likelihood of finishing.
Weather, conditions and individual preparation can change the real difficulty significantly.

Course analysis
What shapes this race
Expect long runnable canal sections where pace discipline matters more than technical skill, largely runnable, non-technical surfaces.
canalroadtrailnon-technical
Climbing density
2.1m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
Moderate pressure
To finish inside 30h, the raw average required is 10:58 per kilometre (17:39 per mile), including every stop.
Raw pace10:58/km
PressureModerate pressure
Cutoff pressure compares the published time limit with distance, ascent and verified course demands. Lower pressure does not mean the race is easy. Raw pace includes checkpoints, food stops, navigation errors and any sleep; it is not a pacing plan.
Who this suits
First ultra?
Better suited to runners with prior ultra, mountain or technical-terrain experience than to somebody choosing their first ultra.
