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 in 30 km (66 m/km) plus a 7 h wall — steep and unforgiving for the pace; only 3 aid stations means longer carries
Who it's for · Our read
fit hill runners collecting ITRA points. Not for first-timers or slow walkers
Also nice · Our read
dawn start, finish meal, ITRA index for point-chasers
In a word · Our read
harder than "30 km" sounds — climbs like a 45k
