About the race

Best for experienced trail runners.

Training for it

Trail races reward time on your feet and climbing more than road speed. Train on terrain like the course.

  • Build your long runs by time rather than distance.
  • Practise hiking the steep climbs and running the descents.
  • Check the mandatory kit list early and train with that kit on.
