Between a UTMB® Index of 500 and 800, the estimated finish time on this race runs from 2h57 to 1h53. 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 | 2h57 | — | 177 g | 2.1 L | 1,475 mg | +1h53 |
| 550 | 2h41 | — | 161 g | 1.9 L | 1,342 mg | +2h09 |

| 800 | 1h53 | — | 113 g | 1.3 L | 942 mg | +2h57 |
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.
