4.5/ 10
Moderate
High evidence confidence · 84% evidence coverage
This score is driven most by balanced overall demands. 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.
Weather, conditions and individual preparation can change the real difficulty significantly.

Course analysis
What shapes this race
Expect sustained upland ground and meaningful climbing, forest trail that may change character in wet conditions.
trailfellforestroadmixed
Climbing density
26.3m 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 11:11 per kilometre (18:00 per mile), including every stop.
Raw pace11:11/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?
Better suited to runners with prior ultra, mountain or technical-terrain experience than to somebody choosing their first ultra.
4.5/10 suitability
Navigation
partially marked
Do not assume closed-road-race levels of signage. Know the organiser’s navigation requirements and keep the official route available.
Exposure & kit
moderate kit
Some entrants may run into darkness depending on pace and start time. Prepare lighting even if your best-case plan finishes earlier.

Data PartialThe official 07:00–22:00 schedule supports a 15-hour final limit and four checkpoints. Registration closed on the published 22 August deadline despite stale banner text. A diversion after the late Bridge of Earn control can still produce an official finish; it is not stored as the full-course cutoff.
