Between a UTMB® Index of 500 and 800, the estimated finish time on this race runs from 2h30 to 1h32. 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 | 2h30 | — | 150 g | 1.8 L | 1,250 mg | +3h30 |
| 550 | 2h16 | — | 136 g | 1.6 L | 1,133 mg | +3h44 |
| 600 | 2h06 | — | 126 g | 1.5 L | 1,050 mg | +3h54 |

| 800 | 1h32 | — | 92 g | 1.1 L | 767 mg | +4h28 |
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.
