Preparation and points to check

Differences and information still uncertain

These items are shown explicitly so an approximation is never presented as official data.

  • The GPX published directly in the organiser's archive carries a 2023 timestamp; the 2026 route page still links it to the 120-mile format. The GPX metrics are therefore identified as an unconfirmed scope for the 2026 edition.
  • The GPX measures 197.89 km and 7,905 m D+, while the organiser presents about 124 miles and 8,000 m D+; the figures in the listing are the organiser's.
