Endurance load on ITRA's km-effort scale — not steepness or technical terrain.
How we measure
km-effort = distance + climb/100, ITRA's published scale: every 100 m of climb counts like ~1 km of distance. Six levels, Easy → Brutal, from the hardest distance of the event. The climb figure (m/km) shows how vertical the course is.Drive

Our take
The catch · Our read
700 m in 12 km means a steep climb-per-km ratio — steeper than the flat "12 km" label suggests; altitude adds early-morning cold
Who it's for · Our read
newer trail runners wanting real mountain feel without a long day; families near the Pyrenees. NOT for those chasing distance/championship points
Also nice · Our read
Pyrenean-foothill scenery and a low-commitment distance; new Circuit FER membership signals a race on the up
In a word · Our read
like a short Copa-Catalana-style ascent race, but circular and low-key — "harder than its 12 km suggests."
