Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with trail (37%) and paved road (34%) 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. Uphills are predominantly on trail (67% of ascending sections). Downhills are spread across a mix of surfaces, with paved road most common.
