The shape of the race

How the field thinned.

Runners still out there at the start of each hour. The hour never changed. That is what breaks people.

The climbing

They climbed Everest three times over.

Every lap is 300 m of climbing, so it stacks up whether you look at it or not. Piotr Babis finished on 27,000 m of vertical. The whole field between them climbed 565,800 m.

No runner matches that.

Laps equal hours: one lap of the 4.2 km circuit every hour, on the hour. The timing sheet records no finishing position, only who was cut off and who stopped, so position here is ranked on laps completed and runners on the same lap count share a position. Distance is laps multiplied by the circuit length. Source: events.barefootsport.co.nz event 1568, cross-checked against DUV event 113800.
