| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Of which stops | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 94h50 | 20h21 | 40 | 5,690 g | 66.4 L | 47,417 mg | +4h10 |
| 550 | 88h33 | 17h34 | 37.6 | 5,313 g | 62 L | 44,275 mg | +10h27 |
| 600 | 81h29 | 15h04 | 30.5 | 4,889 g | 57 L | 40,739 mg | +17h31 |
| 650 | 73h43 | 12h49 | 30 | 4,423 g | 51.6 L | 36,859 mg | +25h17 |
| 700 | 68h39 | 11h17 | 30 | 4,119 g | 48.1 L | 34,325 mg | +30h21 |
| 750 | 63h50 | 9h59 | 26.8 | 3,830 g | 44.7 L | 31,920 mg | +35h10 |
| 800 | 59h11 | 8h51 | 22.2 | 3,551 g | 41.4 L | 29,595 mg | +39h49 |
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.
