Terrain & Elevation
The course is mainly trail (53%), with grass (23%) 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. Uphills are predominantly on trail (74% of ascending sections). Downhills are spread across a mix of surfaces, with trail most common.
