Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with gravel (36%) and paved road (31%) 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.
