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 5.5 km of trail. Ascending sections cover a varied mix of surfaces with no single type dominating the climbs. Descents are mainly on trail (66% of descending sections).
