The current official entry and January 2026 participant pack confirm the 20 March 2027 50K Hayfield loop, 1,654m ascent, £52 standard fee, three staffed food checkpoints, substantial mandatory navigation and safety kit, and Hayfield Cricket Pavilion as start and finish. The common 21:00 closure creates different elapsed windows, so no single cutoff is stored; the required headtorch and closure after sunset establish partial night exposure. Outside support and pacers are prohibited.

Moderate
Moderate input evidence · 69% evidence coverage
The main recorded demands are 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.
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.
Course analysis
Expect exposed moorland where weather can amplify the difficulty.
Climbing density
33.1m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
The official overall cutoff has not yet been verified. Race For You will not estimate one.
Who this suits
There is not enough verified information to assess first-ultra suitability yet.
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
Some entrants may run into darkness depending on pace and start time. Prepare lighting even if your best-case plan finishes earlier.
