The Canyons Endurance Runs - 50K: 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 6h17 to 3h54. 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 | 6h17 | — | 377 g | 4.4 L | 3,142 mg | +3h43 |
| 550 | 5h46 | — | 346 g | 4 L | 2,883 mg | +4h14 |

| 800 | 3h54 | — | 234 g | 2.7 L | 1,950 mg | +6h06 |
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.
