Barefoot XTRAIL Spring Series: Mad Makara

This event takes place within the scenic Makara Peak MTB Park, offering participants a blend of well-formed trails and 4WD tracks. The course features gentle climbs at the beginning, leading to panoramic views, particularly from the peak. The terrain combines bush-clad paths and open vistas, providing a visually engaging experience. While the tracks are not overly technical, they do present a fair amount of elevation gain, especially on the medium and long courses. Given the location’s exposure, it is advisable for runners to prepare for cooler temperatures, particularly along the ridge line.

The event is part of an annual series, fostering community involvement and attracting a range of participants. Each race offers multiple distance options, catering to varying levels of experience and fitness, ensuring inclusivity while promoting a shared passion for trail running.
