About this distance
Far shows Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail's published 129.9 km (80.7 mi), which is what to plan against. The route drawn here is Far's own measurement of the mapped trail and comes to 118.9 km (73.9 mi), about 8% shorter, so the drawn line will not match the figure. Elevation gain is profiled from the mapped line only, which covers about 92% of that distance — treat 1697 m as a floor, not the full climb. The unmapped remainder cannot be profiled.
