Between a UTMB® Index of 500 and 800, the estimated finish time on this race runs from 20h45 to 12h24. 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 | 20h45 | 6.8 | 1,245 g | 14.5 L | 10,375 mg | +7h15 |
| 550 | 18h38 | 4.6 | 1,118 g | 13 L | 9,317 mg | +9h22 |
| 600 | 17h22 | 3.4 | 1,042 g | 12.2 L | 8,683 mg | +10h38 |
| 650 | 15h56 | 2 | 956 g | 11.2 L | 7,967 mg | +12h04 |

| 800 | 12h24 | 2 | 744 g | 8.7 L | 6,200 mg | +15h36 |
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.
