Tips & Advice
- Since lap times increase in speed, pace yourself strategically from the start to conserve energy for later laps.

- Check the specific lap time schedule in advance to understand how the pace will increase, helping you plan your rest and recovery periods.
- Dress in layers suitable for trail running, as the weather can change, and the undulating terrain requires comfortable, supportive footwear.
- Consider bringing your own hydration and snacks, even though it's a fundraiser, to ensure you have your preferred items readily available during the event.
