A club mate is doing teenager with altitude the same day. 25km, 2300m.
Truth be told you won’t run all of it, at least the vast majority don’t. I ran a trail race on Arran in 2019 with similar distance/ascent. My avg pace was 17min/mile and I came 27/110 men.

That makes sense. I had to walk after 9km to cover the last bit of really steep hill. My average pace was 7:09min/km. I had no idea what to expect or aim for regarding pace though.
I've enjoyed a few really flat runs at sea level on this trip, much more my kind of running. I can see the appeal of serious hills now though.

That's some serious elevation. I've been drinking with the race director of the Tortola Torture https://tortolatorture.com/ That's 1350m over 58km.
Ran 9k including some of the course with 435m elevation on Sunday followed by 6k with 100m yesterday. I don't usually run any hills so my quads are pretty tight now. Not sure how running 1100 in 18km is even possible.
