COURSE
The hiking/racing trail is circular, meaning the start and finish are in the same place. The trail passes through various hiking trails of Karula Nature Park and RMK, and to a lesser extent also side roads. There is no need to climb through the rocks, the trail passes along hiking and road roads. However, it should be noted that this is a winter event and in case of a lot of fresh snow, the trail may not always be easy to find (especially for the first few runners).
There are relatively few trail markers and signposts, so it is strongly recommended to use a GPS navigation device (a GPS sports watch or smartphone is also suitable) or follow a map (this is more of a backup option). Some orienteering skills or at least a tech-savvy navigator in the group may be needed. Fellow hikers who you can follow or ask for help from are also helpful, but of course you shouldn't rely on that alone.
We have set up the following drink and snack points along the trail:
Short track:
Drink and snack point
Food stand (Tactical food pack)
Long track:

Water and sports drinks are also available at each station. If possible, use your own drinking vessels to reduce the number of cups you use.
