The total amount of height gain over the whole course is over 16,000ft, or 5,000 metres. That's the equivalent of cycling and running to the top of Mont Blanc (plus a bit), from sea level.
The finish is 1,850 metres above sea level. Ben Nevis peaks at 1,344 metres.
The fastest winning time is 10 hrs, 30 minutes and 9 seconds (10:30:09)
The slowest finishing time is 21 hrs, 12 minutes and 24 seconds (21:12:24)
The fjord is over 400 metres deep
The first hill on the bike course takes competitors on average 2 hours to reach the top.
In 2005 only 1 person was fast enough to reach the top. The rest were all diverted to a diferent finish line because it had begun to snow on the mountain.
Only 23 Black finisher t-shirts have been handed out to Brits (we have five of them)
