- 5 km (one lap)
- 10 km (two laps)
This is a timed event with a fully marshalled route. A dedicated aid station stocked with food and drinks is available to participants during the run. After finishing, runners can access a designated zone to rest. Every participant receives a finisher's medal or memento as part of the entry.
