Kid's Race - 1 km
The Sport course has a nice selection of not too technical, and some more technical sections to test your fast feet. The Enduro course has a super technical add-on that takes you running past 2 beautiful alpine lakes, if you have the opportunity to look up as you dodge hundreds of roots along the way.
Race distances and maps are subject to change based on trail conditions up to the day of the event.
