Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with trail (47%) and gravel (26%) 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 (64% of ascending sections). Downhills are spread across a mix of surfaces, with gravel most common.
