The start line
Men and women
Two medians on the same scale. The bars run from the start to the cutoff, so the gap between them is the gap in time.
Men
11:20:08
median finish; average 11:02:28
27 finishers, 66% of the field
Women

12 finishers, 29% of the field
0:16:40 separates the two medians, across 27 men and 12 women.
Finish time by age group
Every track runs from the start to the 13h28 cutoff, so the empty part of a bar is the time that group's median finisher still had. Men and women are drawn on the same scale.

Full bar: 20 finishers or more. Tick alone: fewer than 20, too few for a median to say much. The shaded row is the biggest group.

Bar length is against the largest nation. The smallest counts are drawn at a minimum visible width, so their bars are not to scale.
How these numbers were computed
These are times for runners who finished. They exclude everyone who started and did not, so they describe how long finishing took, not how long the race takes. Bands with only a handful of finishers move a lot from one edition to the next.
We plot the median, not the average. A handful of very quick runners drags the average well below the time half the field actually beat, so the median is the honest number to plan against.
Nationality here shows who travels to this race, not who runs it best. That alone is why a host nation tops almost every list.

Talk to your race
Ask UTHC 60 anything about climbs, pacing, crew or cutoffs.
Answers come from this course's data, your plan and your training.
Which climb should I respect most?
Marmotte to Chouette: +760 m over 16.3 km, from km 34.5. Hike the steep sections at an effort you could hold for hours - the race is decided after this climb, not on it.
Where can my crew meet me?

Is 11h a realistic finish for me?
11h would put you in the faster half of 2026 finishers - the median was 11:31:44. It means holding 10:50/km overall.
