Trail Marking
The trail will be finalized and prepared for the race on the day of the event. In an effort to protect the forests and natural areas where we operate, trail marking will not be excessive. In this regard, please consult the trail map before the race, pay attention to existing signs, and follow the instructions of the volunteers. Trail marking information will be communicated through the Participant's Guide in the week of the event.
