Second aid station and cut-off
Neutralised section at the Pas de n'Argentó. Between km 11.8 and 12.2 you must climb on foot, not running: it is 400 m with 139 m of elevation gain and an average slope of 34.75%. It is imposed by the Balearic Directorate General for the Natural Environment to curb erosion of the path, and it is signposted at the start and the end.

Pace and timetable calculator
Enter the time you want to finish in and you'll see what time you would pass each aid station and whether you make the cut-offs. It's an estimate: it spreads your time according to the distance and elevation gain of each section, but it doesn't know the terrain or how strong you'll feel.
A rough estimate, not a forecast: terrain, weather and how your legs feel can change it a lot. The cut-off times are the official ones.
