The race
This trail running event features courses that traverse diverse farmland terrain, including steep sections and unformed tracks. Participants can enjoy stunning views of the surrounding landscape, enhancing the outdoor experience.
The longer course offers a team relay option, allowing groups of 4-12 members to share the challenge. While there are aid stations along the route, competitors are encouraged to carry their own hydration and nutrition, promoting self-sufficiency during the run.
The atmosphere is often enriched by community involvement, with local support contributing to the event’s overall experience.
