Successful source check: 3 Sept 2026Source confidence: mediumA 2025 current-course result records Sarah Perry in 47:01, establishing prior completion. Exact date, published ascent and loop count for that edition were not recovered, so remain null. Older editions used Shining Tor in the Peak District and their metrics must not be applied to the Wrekin course.

Race For You difficulty
8.7/ 10
Extreme
Moderate evidence confidence · 68% 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 0.55 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, sections where foot placement and downhill confidence matter.
mountaintrailtechnical
Climbing density
55.6m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
Very high pressure
To finish inside 48h, the raw average required is 11:11 per kilometre (18:00 per mile), including every stop.
Raw pace11:11/km
PressureVery high 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.
Navigation
fully marked
The route is described as marked, but runners should still read the final race instructions.
Exposure & kit
unknown kit
Significant overnight running is likely for many entrants. Lighting, temperature management and sleep strategy can materially affect the outcome.
Personal race predictor
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.
