High input evidence · 84% evidence coverage
The main recorded demands are balanced overall demands. 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 0.00 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.

A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
Unknown
The official overall cutoff has not yet been verified. Race For You will not estimate one.
Who this suits
First ultra?
A realistic target for a prepared runner with some trail or ultra experience, but not the softest possible introduction to the distance.
5.5/10 suitability
Navigation
fully marked
The route is described as marked, but runners should still read the final race instructions.
Exposure & kit
moderate kit
Night running is not expected for most entrants based on the current format, but final kit rules still take priority.
Personal race predictor
Prediction unavailable
No current compatible predictor target is available for this family. The selected edition may be complete or cancelled, awaiting a successor, non-standard, or missing model-critical course evidence; older facts are not substituted.

Data PartialThe official event page, athlete guide and published 50K results verify the inaugural 9 August 2026 running, 50K distance, 1,585m ascent, full waymarking, three feed stations and completed status. The athlete guide gives intermediate departure controls through 38K at eight hours but no overall finish cutoff, so cutoffHours remains null. Entry price and field limit are not backfilled, and no unannounced 2027 successor is created.
