Most of the course is on singletrack and is all safe and secure underfoot.
There is approx 50m +/- of elevation in the run and is completely marked.
​Short Course - 1km Race
The 1km event is made up of one x 1km lap.
The 1km Route starts at the same location as the 3km Event but simply turns takes a slightly different route in the second half to make 1km.
There is less elevation gain in this run and is safe and secure underfoot.
