Cappadocia Short Trail: times, aid-station stops and fuelling needs by UTMB® Index
Between a UTMB® Index of 500 and 800, the estimated finish time on this race runs from 4h46 to 3h09. These times include aid-station stops: they come from real durations between two timing points, and this race's timing does not measure stops separately.
Below a UTMB® Index of roughly 305, the overall cut-off of 7h00 is no longer reachable at the estimated pace.
| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 4h46 | — | 286 g | 3.3 L | 2,383 mg | +2h14 |
| 550 | 4h23 | — | 263 g | 3.1 L | 2,192 mg | +2h37 |
| 600 | 3h59 | — | 239 g | 2.8 L | 1,992 mg | +3h01 |
| 650 | 3h43 | — | 223 g | 2.6 L | 1,858 mg | +3h17 |
| 700 | 3h28 | — | 208 g | 2.4 L | 1,733 mg | +3h32 |
| 750 | 3h21 | — | 201 g | 2.3 L | 1,675 mg | +3h39 |
| 800 | 3h09 | — | 189 g | 2.2 L | 1,575 mg | +3h51 |
Figures based on 60 g of carbohydrate, 700 mL of fluid and 500 mg of sodium per hour, "average" preparation and mild conditions (15–25 °C). Above 25 °C, count on roughly 900 mL/h and 700 mg/h. Carbohydrate intake is trained: 60 g/h is a floor, 90 g/h assumes a glucose-fructose blend and a gut used to it.
