What this race demands
This 114-kilometer gravel race demands sustained climbing capacity over 2,286 meters of elevation gain and strong pacing control in high-altitude terrain.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 2,286 meters of climbing over a 114-kilometer distance requires continuous seated power output and sustained efforts on alpine ascents.
High-altitude output
Based in Font-Romeu in the Pyrenees, the event exposes athletes to sustained elevation that reduces aerobic capacity and places a premium on pacing.
Durability
The combination of distance and significant elevation will push typical finishing times past four hours, demanding muscular endurance and structural resilience.
A race of this expected duration requires a consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain output and prevent late-race energy depletion.
