RACE COURSE
This is great single and double track off-road running experience. The race will start in the open field (required for spacing) but will soon lead into the woods. The terrain is made up of a little bit of everything, rolling hills, single track, double track, roots, along with some technical sections. The course is beautiful and offers something for every runner truly wishing to ´ditch the city´.
