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
3h45 for 18 km / 1200 m is not generous once the front-loaded climb bites, and the 1h30 refugi cut plus the pairs rule means a weaker partner can end both runners' days. Point-to… no, loop, but the early wall is the filter
Who it's for · Our read
fit pairs comfortable with 1200 m of climb and enforced pacing together; NOT solo-minded runners or anyone mismatched with their partner
Also nice · Our read
high, quiet Alt Berguedà ridge with big views, on a demanding vert-heavy loop
In a word · Our read
an Alt Berguedà vertical km-esforç of 30 packed into 18 km — the pairs format is the twist, the front-loaded climb is the catch
