Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with gravel (37%) and paved road (29%) 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 gravel, though the surface varies across the ascents. Descents cover a variety of surfaces with no single terrain type dominating.
Moors Traverse has 26.9 km of gravel / track, this is in the top 18% of all our races.

Pacing Complexity
Moors Traverse scores 54/100 for pacing complexity, rated high.
Similar-distance races score a median of 48/100 (5 races compared).
Moors Traverse 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.
