The Sport course has a nice selection of not too technical, and some more technical sections to test your fast feet. The Enduro course has a super technical add-on that takes you running past 2 beautiful alpine lakes if you have the opportunity to look up as you dodge hundreds of roots along the way. For those looking to add a bit more of a distance and challenge to their day, the Grit course will have an additional ~ 4km. * Race distances and maps are subject to change based on trail conditions up to the day of the event.
