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
three summits over ~36 km = serious vertical (unpublished) and real altitude/cold in November — harder than the "36 km" tag; note the start-town change for logistics
Who it's for · Our read
experienced mountain runners ready for a cold high day; not for a flat-trail runner or anyone needing exact D+/cutoffs upfront
Also nice · Our read
the classic Montseny high-traverse, big national-park scenery, a milestone 15th edition with a village relocation
In a word · Our read
the Montseny's summit marathon — harder than its 36 km suggests once you count Turó de l'Home + Agudes + Matagalls
