Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with trail (44%) and grass (39%) 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. The longest unbroken stretch is 8.5 km of trail. Uphills are predominantly on grass (62% of ascending sections). Descents are mainly on trail (70% of descending sections).
