Races

The trails are hilly, we encourage intermediate runners to take a break and walk up part of the hills, you can admire the scenery more that way, and enjoy the run. The beautiful woods provide shade for 90% of the course, so it significantly cools the temperature. Water is provided on 10K at 5K, 7.7K and 8.7K points, we encourage carrying water where you think you need more. Marshals are there to make sure everyone is ok and give you support, they are backed up by first aiders on 4x4s on the course and at the finish. Trail shoes are better, because the course has bumps and tree roots in places. Any questions please use our contact page
