Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with trail (46%) and gravel (37%) being the most common and neither clearly dominating. The terrain is highly fragmented, switching roughly every kilometre. This demands constant mental engagement and limits the ability to build a sustained rhythm from surface consistency alone. The longest unbroken stretch is 14.0 km of trail. Uphills are predominantly on gravel (69% of ascending sections). Descents are mainly on trail (67% of descending sections).
