Between a UTMB® Index of 500 and 800, the estimated finish time on this race runs from 12h18 to 7h41. 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 | 12h18 | 1 | 738 g | 8.6 L | 6,150 mg | +14h42 |
| 550 | 11h29 | 1 | 689 g | 8 L | 5,742 mg | +15h31 |
| 600 | 10h41 | 1 | 641 g | 7.5 L | 5,342 mg | +16h19 |
| 650 | 9h41 | 1 | 581 g | 6.8 L | 4,842 mg | +17h19 |
| 700 | 9h02 | 1 | 542 g | 6.3 L | 4,517 mg | +17h58 |
| 750 | 8h18 | 1 | 498 g | 5.8 L | 4,150 mg | +18h42 |
| 800 | 7h41 | 1 | 461 g | 5.4 L | 3,842 mg | +19h19 |
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.
