The (not so) Short
Description
An ideal race for anyone who finds the 25 km route too long, with a bit of everything. The first half follows wider, runnable tracks where you can stretch your legs, while the second half is tougher, with narrow trails and steep climbs. Save some energy for the legendary Hell's Climb!
