Nice Côte d'Azur - 50K - Eze - Nice: 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 8h10 to 4h59. 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 | 8h10 | — | 490 g | 5.7 L | 4,083 mg | +3h50 |
| 550 | 7h31 | — | 451 g | 5.3 L | 3,758 mg | +4h29 |
| 600 | 6h50 | — | 410 g | 4.8 L | 3,417 mg | +5h10 |

| 800 | 4h59 | — | 299 g | 3.5 L | 2,492 mg | +7h01 |
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.
