Cappadocia Ultra-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 19h37 to 11h15. 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 370, the overall cut-off of 24h00 is no longer reachable at the estimated pace.
| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 19h37 | 5.6 | 1,177 g | 13.7 L | 9,808 mg | +4h23 |
| 550 | 18h02 | 4 | 1,082 g | 12.6 L | 9,017 mg | +5h58 |
| 600 | 16h07 | 2.1 | 967 g | 11.3 L | 8,058 mg | +7h53 |
| 650 | 15h18 | 1.3 | 918 g | 10.7 L | 7,650 mg | +8h42 |
| 700 | 14h06 | 0.1 | 846 g | 9.9 L | 7,050 mg | +9h54 |
| 750 | 12h18 | — | 738 g | 8.6 L | 6,150 mg | +11h42 |
| 800 | 11h15 | — | 675 g | 7.9 L | 5,625 mg | +12h45 |
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.
