The (not so) Short
Description
It's an ideal race for those who find the 26 km race too long, and it offers a bit of everything. The first half is more track-oriented and run-oriented to stretch your legs, and the second half is tougher, with trails and steep climbs. Save your energy for the legendary "hell climbing"!
