Between a UTMB® Index of 500 and 800, the estimated finish time on this race runs from 2h22 to 1h29. 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.
| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 2h22 | — | 142 g | 1.7 L | 1,183 mg | +3h38 |
| 550 | 2h10 | — | 130 g | 1.5 L | 1,083 mg | +3h50 |
| 600 | 1h59 | — | 119 g | 1.4 L | 992 mg | +4h01 |
| 650 | 1h49 | — | 109 g | 1.3 L | 908 mg | +4h11 |
| 700 | 1h43 | — | 103 g | 1.2 L | 858 mg | +4h17 |
| 750 | 1h36 | — | 96 g | 1.1 L | 800 mg | +4h24 |
| 800 | 1h29 | — | 89 g | 1 L | 742 mg | +4h31 |
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.
