MaXi-Race - Demi-tour du lac: 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 9h18 to 5h48, and the aid-station stop budget from 0h24 to 0h08. The longer the race, the more stops weigh: this is time you should plan to spend standing still, not only running.

Below a UTMB® Index of roughly 400, the overall cut-off of 11h30 is no longer reachable at the estimated pace.

Estimated time, stop time and fuelling needs on MaXi-Race - Demi-tour du lac by UTMB Index
UTMB® Index	Estimated time	Of which stops	Night hours	Carbs	Fluid	Sodium	Cut-off margin
500	9h18	0h24	—	558 g	6.5 L	4,652 mg	+2h12
550	8h29	0h20	—	509 g	5.9 L	4,245 mg	+3h01
600	7h55	0h16	—	475 g	5.5 L	3,955 mg	+3h35

800	5h48	0h08	—	348 g	4.1 L	2,898 mg	+5h42

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.
