Terrain & Elevation
The course is mainly trail (53%), with gravel (20%) 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. The longest unbroken stretch is 7.2 km of trail. Uphills are predominantly on trail (63% of ascending sections). Descents share the same trail surface, so careful footing on the uphills also carries through on the way down.
