SWISS CANYON TRAIL - 51 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 6h37 to 4h10. 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 | 6h37 | — | 397 g | 4.6 L | 3,308 mg | +6h23 |
| 550 | 6h02 | — | 362 g | 4.2 L | 3,017 mg | +6h58 |
| 600 | 5h35 | — | 335 g | 3.9 L | 2,792 mg | +7h25 |
| 650 | 5h02 | — | 302 g | 3.5 L | 2,517 mg | +7h58 |
| 700 | 4h49 | — | 289 g | 3.4 L | 2,408 mg | +8h11 |
| 750 | 4h28 | — | 268 g | 3.1 L | 2,233 mg | +8h32 |
| 800 | 4h10 | — | 250 g | 2.9 L | 2,083 mg | +8h50 |
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.
