5.2/ 10
Hard
High evidence confidence · 84% evidence coverage
This score is driven most by technical terrain, exposure and self-sufficiency. 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.
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.

Climbing density
30m 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 20h, the raw average required is 13:49 per kilometre (22:13 per mile), including every stop.
Raw pace13:49/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?
This is not designed as a first-ultra recommendation. Significant endurance, navigation or mountain-race experience is strongly advised.
2.4/10 suitability
Navigation
GPS required
The route is described as marked, but runners should still read the final race instructions.
Exposure & kit
extensive kit
Significant overnight running is likely for many entrants. Lighting, temperature management and sleep strategy can materially affect the outcome.

Data PartialThe official page verifies the 24 October 2026 date, 54-mile distance, 20-hour cutoff, £139 fee, 250-place field, five checkpoints and mandatory GPX access. It publishes 2,607m for the low route and 3,565m for the high route; the series listing's 2,607m figure is stored as approximate rather than implying one guaranteed course.
