About this race

Expect long trail days combined, with forest sections and mountain terrain providing the main challenge. The climbing is substantial, totaling 6500m of ascent, making this event suitable for runners who can manage their energy, equipment, food, and patience over multiple demanding days, rather than focusing solely on a single finish-line effort.
