Race For You difficulty
4.5/ 10
Moderate
High input evidence · 94% 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 0.35 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 largely runnable, non-technical surfaces.
trailroadmixednon-technical
Climbing density
13.3m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
High pressure
To finish inside 15h, the raw average required is 10:00 per kilometre (16:06 per mile), including every stop.
Raw pace10:00/km
PressureHigh 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?
A realistic target for a prepared runner with some trail or ultra experience, but not the softest possible introduction to the distance.
6.4/10 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.

Data HighChecked 13 September 2026. Entry status: Unconfirmed. Current availability could not be established reliably from the official event and entry sources. The official page verifies 1 May 2027, 06:00–21:00, the 90K entry format, 1,200m ascent, a 15-hour limit, fully marked route and GPS tracking. The dated price schedule supersedes a stale £120 teaser: the standard fee is £135 after 1 September 2026. Other stored facts retain their previous source review from 2026-09-02. Field-scoped check 2026-09-28: The current official 2027 page supplies North Queensferry and St Andrews Cathedral and offers entry; the dated organiser recap explicitly announced 2027 entries open. Only these facts were reviewed; other details retain their previous source dates.
