Breaking down the elevation profile of the PYP course

We've had a decent amount of requests for the elevation profile of the course and it's been fun diving into the details of our 400m per loop course!

🏃 Recommendations

• Slow down and conserve energy on steep climbs (Splits 5, 8, 11, 12).

• Open up your stride and push pace on descents (Splits 2, 6, 10, 13).

• Lock into a rhythm on flat segments (Splits 1, 3, 7).

🏔️ What This Elevation Profile Shows

• Early rolling terrain: The first 3 km stay relatively gentle, letting you settle into rhythm.

• Mid‑course climbing block: Splits 4–8 contain the bulk of the elevation gain, including the steepest climb of the day.

• Late‑race grind: Splits 11–13 stack climbs and descents, demanding smart energy management.

See you on race day!
