Please visit later for the exact dates of runs.
The run will stay in line with its values of being an escape from the city to run over rugged terrain and in the mountains, giving the event its unique flavor as one of the most popular sporting and social events in the region.
The route will be similar to last year’s edition except that the support vehicles for the teams will follow the same track as the runners except between start to CP1 and CP8 to CP9. (Refer to course map). Please note that all of the distances are approximate and there may be some slight differences from the stated distances.
