6K: 6.0 km, 106 m of climbing · 12K: 12.7 km, 232 m of climbing · 22K: 22.1 km, 333 m of climbing · 38K: 38.7 km, 565 m of climbing · 54K: 54.5 km, 733 m of climbing. Values are measured from the organiser's published course files.

From easiest to hardest: 6K (km-effort 7, XXS) → 12K (km-effort 15, XXS) → 22K (km-effort 25, XS) → 38K (km-effort 44, XS) → 54K (km-effort 62, S). Ranked by km-effort (kilometres plus 1 for every 100 m of climbing), measured from the course files.

Over 54.5 km there is 733 m of climbing in total, 13 m per kilometre. About 66% of the course is flat. A rolling course: ups and downs, but not a mountain course. Km-effort is 62, which puts it in the S category on the ITRA scale. This value is calculated from the course file. Official ITRA scores are awarded only by ITRA, and only to races registered and certified with it; this number is not that score. By km-effort it is harder than 97 of the 125 courses whose files we have measured in the calendar; difficulty rank: 28.

Share of the distance: 10% climbing (3–8%) · 78% flat · 10% descending (3–8%) · 1% steep descending (8% and more). Gradient was measured at equal intervals from the elevation in the course file.

There is 731 m of descent in total. The longest uninterrupted descent is between km 4.4 and km 7.6: 99 m. The steepest descent is around km 15.7, with an average gradient of 9%.

The biggest climb is between km 0.0–2.6: +98 m over 2.6 km, averaging 3.8%. Sections are derived from the elevation profile of the course file.

The highest point is 1,241 m, at km 4.7. The lowest point is 1,099 m. From the high point it is 50 km to the finish.

About 61% of the climbing is in the first half; the hard part comes early.

Start and finish are at the same point; the course is a single loop.

Over 6.0 km there is 106 m of climbing in total, 18 m per kilometre. About 47% of the course is flat. A rolling course: ups and downs, but not a mountain course.
