Terrain & Elevation
The course is mainly trail (55%), with gravel (21%) 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. 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.
