Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with trail (38%) and gravel (22%) 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. The longest unbroken stretch is 7.4 km of trail. Climbs are mostly on trail, though the surface varies across the ascents. Descents share the same trail surface, so careful footing on the uphills also carries through on the way down.
