Race For You difficulty
4.3/ 10
Moderate
Limited input evidence · 52% 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.

Data PartialChecked 13 September 2026. Entry status: Unconfirmed. Current availability could not be established reliably from the official event and entry sources. Navigation: self-navigation. The official page confirms 6 July 2028, 47 miles, £90, four checkpoints and a standalone capacity of 20 plus 20 CYMRUN entrants. Its embedded route conflicts on both distance and ascent. The 4mph rule and checkpoint closures are intermediate controls, not an overall cutoff. Other stored facts retain their previous source review from 2026-09-03.
