Race strategy

Run the climb at race pace, build your speed on the downhill, and go all out at the finish.

  • Steep 28% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • The finish is runnable. Save your legs to run it all the way.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.3km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.3km–19.7km · Climb of 266m, high point 443m. Plus 1 more descent. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Running pays off here: run wherever you can. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Work · 19.7km–21.9km · Plus 1 more descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort.
  • Home · 21.9km–63.4km · 41.5km of runnable trail. No heroics: settle back into your own effort and hold it to the line. Running pays off here: run wherever you can.
