Details

One of the tougher half marathons. Off-road events are generally slower than on-road, and this one is no exception. There are steep, hilly bits, especially around the 16 km mark where the Never-ending hill is found (my own name for it). It is extremely scenic though and with good weather is an extremely nice course to run.
