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 organiser's GPX provides the complete geometry but no elevation samples: it does not allow a profile or elevation gain to be calculated from the track.
  • The 10,193 m D+ and 10,193 m D− are the organiser's official values, converted from 33,441 ft; they are not metrics calculated by Trailboard.
  • Aid station locations are those in the organiser's table; the named waypoints come from the race description. The water and food contents are not specified by these documents.
