Runners encounter natural obstacles such as wooden ladders, rock and wooden staircases, and tree trunk scrambles, alongside picturesque babbling brooks and waterfalls. The marathon includes two loops plus an out-and-back section, while shorter distances cover parts of the trail. Limited to 300 participants, the race offers aid stations, finisher medals, and a vibrant natural atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
