Runners will face a variety of terrains, featuring steep climbs and rocky trails interspersed with muddy paths and rivers, ensuring a dynamic experience. With potential snow adding to the adventure, this race demands endurance and adaptability. Canicross is permitted, allowing dog owners to bring their pets; however, dogs must be kept on a leash, and owners are responsible for their furry companions throughout the race.
