Your pace band

Tell us your goal and we give you every kilometre split, already adjusted to the hills of this course: a few seconds more where it climbs, a few less where it drops, the same effort all the way. Print it and wear it on your wrist.

What are you going for?
h min

You get three strips in case one gets wet. Cut, cover with clear tape and join the ends around your wrist.

Your gel plan

Tell us how many carbs you want per hour and what each gel carries. We tell you at which aid station to take each one, so you wash it down with water instead of dry.

    The organisers hand out gels at these points (Finisher): km 20, 35.

    Not a forecast: this is what the last 30 years looked like on these dates, at the start and three hours later. Useful for picking your kit and for not trusting a goal built for 8 °C when it is usually 18.
