Official event pageWhat this race demands
This 21.1 km trail run demands sustained aerobic pacing across 435 meters of rolling elevation while managing variable terrain and on-course stations.
Rolling Elevation
Accumulating 435 meters of gain over a half marathon distance requires consistent climbing strength and efficient descending on trail surfaces.
Trail Durability
Weaving through estates and downs places continuous eccentric load on the lower limbs, demanding strong stabilizing muscles for the full distance.
Target 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output for the duration of the effort.
