This provides a unique opportunity for athletes to test their skills in specific race conditions, or to simply enjoy the challenge of a new multisport format.

The event is characterized by its scenic courses that traverse some of Southland’s picturesque landscapes, offering competitors not only a challenge but also an enjoyable environment.
