Resumen
[EN] The current evidence suggests that pacing may not be affected by performance level or sex
in trail-running races as may occur in road running races. However, the previous studies included
races of >100 km. Therefore, we aimed to verify the influence of performance level and sex on
pacing in the last four (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021) editions of a shorter (56.3 km) ultra-trail running
race (i.e., Orsières–Champex–Chamonix; OCC®) that maintained the same race profile. The mean
finishing time for the 5656 participants was 10 h 20 min 33 s ± 2 h 01 min 19 s. Pacing variability
(CV%) was higher in high-level participants, thus showing a greater ability to adapt their pace to the
race profile than low-level runners. Males also had a higher pacing variability than females although
the effect sizes were small. Based on the current findings, we may recommend for non-elite OCC®
participants to adapt their pace to the race profile with a slower pace during uphills and a faster pace
during downhills. Further studies including participants’ experience are necessary to confirm the
effectiveness of this suggestion in trail-running races of variable distances.
