Between a UTMB® Index of 500 and 800, the estimated finish time on this race runs from 20h34 to 11h59. 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.
Source| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 20h34 | 6.6 | 1,234 g | 14.4 L | 10,283 mg | +5h26 |
| 550 | 18h38 | 4.6 | 1,118 g | 13 L | 9,317 mg | +7h22 |
| 600 | 17h08 | 3.1 | 1,028 g | 12 L | 8,567 mg | +8h52 |

| 800 | 11h59 | 3 | 719 g | 8.4 L | 5,992 mg | +14h01 |
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.
