Terrain & Elevation
The course is mainly trail (55%), with gravel (22%) making up most of the rest. 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 12.1 km of trail. Climbs are mostly on gravel, though the surface varies across the ascents. Descents are mainly on trail (82% of descending sections).
