| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Of which stops | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 6h33 | 0h07 | — | 393 g | 4.6 L | 3,275 mg | +4h27 |
| 550 | 5h56 | 0h06 | — | 356 g | 4.2 L | 2,967 mg | +5h04 |
| 600 | 5h25 | 0h06 | — | 325 g | 3.8 L | 2,708 mg | +5h35 |
| 650 | 5h05 | 0h05 | — | 305 g | 3.6 L | 2,542 mg | +5h55 |
| 700 | 4h51 | 0h04 | — | 291 g | 3.4 L | 2,425 mg | +6h09 |
| 750 | 4h23 | 0h03 | — | 263 g | 3.1 L | 2,192 mg | +6h37 |
| 800 | 4h12 | 0h03 | — | 252 g | 2.9 L | 2,100 mg | +6h48 |
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.
