Successful source check: 2 Sept 2026Source confidence: highThe completed 2025 organiser page and roadbook support 227.6km, 6,289m and £389. A 48-hour headline conflicts with repeated 50-hour body and roadbook statements; the repeated race-specific 50-hour limit is used and the conflict remains explicit.

Race For You difficulty
7.9/ 10
Very hard
Moderate evidence confidence · 57% evidence coverage
This score is driven most by substantial race distance, high climbing demand, accumulated fatigue and format burden. Difficulty V2's separate time-limit modifier adds 0.15 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.

Climbing density
27.6m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
Moderate pressure
To finish inside 50h, the raw average required is 13:11 per kilometre (21:13 per mile), including every stop.
Raw pace13:11/km
PressureModerate 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?
There is not enough verified information to assess first-ultra suitability yet.
Exposure & kit
unknown kit
Significant overnight running is likely for many entrants. Lighting, temperature management and sleep strategy can materially affect the outcome.

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.
Latest verification
Trust the source, see the gaps.
Data HighITRA marks the 16–18 October 2026 solo race cancelled; the linked Black Sheep entry target is dead and the race is absent from current organiser navigation, while the orphaned Beautifully Brutal page still advertises it. This medium-confidence status conflict prevents a misleading upcoming listing. No cancellation reason is claimed. Route metrics retain the organiser/ITRA conflict, and Black Sheep Events is treated as the current registration umbrella for the same organiser continuum rather than a new family.
