The race start is at the barrier about 100 m up the trail across from the car park entrance. The route climbs out from the car park, follows marked junctions to ascend the mountain anti clockwise around the cairn, includes rocky descents and a final road section back to the village. The short course omits the mountain section; juniors run to the first climb and return to the start line. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
