Geography is separate from event evidence. This is not an exact start, car park or race-day entrance. Original event verification dates remain unchanged. Wikidata geographic facts are CC0.

Race For You difficulty
3.5/ 10
Moderate
Moderate input evidence · 74% 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.

Cutoff analysis
Unknown
The official overall cutoff has not yet been verified. Race For You will not estimate one.
Who this suits
First ultra?
A realistic target for a prepared runner with some trail or ultra experience, but not the softest possible introduction to the distance.
5.4/10 suitability
Navigation
fully marked
The route is described as marked, but runners should still read the final race instructions.
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.
