Moderate
Moderate input evidence · 59% evidence coverage
The main recorded demands are technical terrain, exposure and self-sufficiency. 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.

What shapes this race
Expect sustained upland ground and meaningful climbing, sections where foot placement and downhill confidence matter, exposed moorland where weather can amplify the difficulty.

Exposure & kit
extensive kit
Night running is not expected for most entrants based on the current format, but final kit rules still take priority.
