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
2000 m over 28 km with a 2040m summit — serious climbing and ridge exposure; Copa Catalana field means a fast front
Who it's for · Our read
Copa Catalana regulars and fit mountain runners (28k); newcomers can drop to 9/15k. Not a beginner's 28k
Also nice · Our read
real summit, Copa Catalana points, three distances so any level can enter
In a word · Our read
a Ripollès Copa-Catalana staple — harder than 28 km reads
