50k UTMB Wildstrubel - Can I be ready?

I’m looking for some advice. I recently completed UTMB UTS 20 (21km, 1200m elevation gain). That’s my longest trail run to date, I completed it in around 3hrs 50.

I’m thinking about signing up to the wildstrubel 50k (53k, 3300m elevation gain). That race is in September, roughly 14 weeks away.

I have trained and ran a road marathon back in 2024, and have recently started running trails after picking running back up again. My weekly mileage is around 20km at the moment - very low and needs to be ramped up.

If I was to commit to training properly for the next 14 weeks, do you think it would be possible to complete the course within the 14 hour cut off. Or is this a bit too ambitious?

Any advice would be appreciated!
