SWISS CANYON TRAIL - 111 KM: 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 20h29 to 12h15. 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.
Below a UTMB® Index of roughly 330, the overall cut-off of 28h00 is no longer reachable at the estimated pace.
| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 20h29 | 6.5 | 1,229 g | 14.3 L | 10,242 mg | +7h31 |
| 550 | 18h23 | 4.4 | 1,103 g | 12.9 L | 9,192 mg | +9h37 |
| 600 | 17h09 | 3.2 | 1,029 g | 12 L | 8,575 mg | +10h51 |
| 650 | 15h43 | 2 | 943 g | 11 L | 7,858 mg | +12h17 |
| 700 | 14h35 | 2 | 875 g | 10.2 L | 7,292 mg | +13h25 |
| 750 | 13h42 | 2 | 822 g | 9.6 L | 6,850 mg | +14h18 |
| 800 | 12h15 | 2 | 735 g | 8.6 L | 6,125 mg | +15h45 |
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.
