The course and its aid stations
Zion 100: 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 25h10 to 14h48, and the aid-station stop budget from 1h51 to 0h36. The longer the race, the more stops weigh: this is time you should plan to spend standing still, not only running.
Source| UTMB® Index | Estimated time | Of which stops | Night hours | Carbs | Fluid | Sodium | Cut-off margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 25h10 | 1h51 | 11 | 1,510 g | 17.6 L | 12,586 mg | +10h50 |
| 550 | 23h13 | 1h30 | 9.2 | 1,393 g | 16.3 L | 11,612 mg | +12h47 |
| 600 | 20h58 | 1h13 | 7 | 1,258 g | 14.7 L | 10,481 mg | +15h02 |
| 650 | 19h01 | 1h00 | 5 | 1,141 g | 13.3 L | 9,508 mg | +16h59 |
| 700 | 17h25 | 0h50 | 3.4 | 1,045 g | 12.2 L | 8,710 mg | +18h35 |

| 800 | 14h48 | 0h36 | 1 | 888 g | 10.4 L | 7,396 mg | +21h12 |
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.
