Kid's Race

“

Beautiful, well marked course - one of the best I've ever ran! It was absolutely gorgeous. Very technical and challenging at times, but also very runnable. Well organized and executed. I had a blast and will definitely have this one on the radar in years to come!

Ran my first Ultra at the 2016 event. Doubt I could have picked a better event to start my Ultra career with. I will be back next year for the beautiful course, great volunteers and extremely well organized event. Thanks!
