About 31km

Race strategy

Run easy on the first mountain, then go all out on the second.

  • Start easy and control your HR up to 16.3km.
  • Hold your race pace up to 27.6km, but stay in control.
  • Ease into the early runnable section, then run your race pace, and go all out on the final descent from 27.6km.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.2km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.2km–16.3km · Plus 1 more climb. 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.
  • Work · 16.3km–27.6km · Climb of 231m, high point 694m. Plus 2 more descents. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Running pays off here: run wherever you can.
  • Home · 27.6km–30.9km · Descent of 310m averaging 10%. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Long descent: keep it even and let go only near the end.

  • 27.6–30.9 km · 310 m D−, -9.6% · 0.0 km ahead → even, let go at the end
