Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with trail (36%) and grass (28%) 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. Climbs are mostly on trail, though the surface varies across the ascents. Downhills are spread across a mix of surfaces, with grass most common.
Cybi Coastal Marathon has 14.3 km of trail / path, this is in the top 71% of all our races.

Pacing Complexity
Cybi Coastal Marathon scores 30/100 for pacing complexity, rated moderate.
Similar-distance races score a median of 24/100 (5 races compared).
Cybi Coastal Marathon is among the more pacing-complex races at this distance. The challenge is not just the total distance or ascent — it is the repeated need to change effort level. A fixed pace target is unlikely to work here. The dominant source of complexity is terrain type changes, which means preparation should include training runs that deliberately mix different intensities in sequence.
