Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with trail (38%) and gravel (23%) 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. Uphills are predominantly on trail (61% of ascending sections). Descents cover a variety of surfaces with no single terrain type dominating.
