Race For You difficulty

3.5/ 10

Moderate

Moderate evidence confidence · 58% evidence coverage

This score is driven most by balanced overall demands. 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.

Weather, conditions and individual preparation can change the real difficulty significantly.

Course analysis

What shapes this race

Expect sustained upland ground and meaningful climbing.

35.1m per km

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?

There is not enough verified information to assess first-ultra suitability yet.

Navigation

self-navigation

Route-finding is part of the challenge. Carry the required mapping tools and be able to use them in darkness and poor visibility.

Exposure & kit

unknown 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.

The LDWA event listing says 27 miles while organiser copy says 28; use the listing's 27-mile scalar. About 5,000 ft is published. Cutoff must remain null: a 12-hour limit is stated, but walkers start at 08:00, runners at 09:00 and the common finish is 20:00, implying a conflicting 11-hour runner window. Prices were GBP 18 member / GBP 26 non-member.
