Your best race is not necessarily the longest one. It is the distance that gives you an exciting challenge while matching your present fitness, trail experience and preparation time.
5 KM — Fun Run
The 5 KM is designed for first-time runners, families and people who want to experience the atmosphere of GTR without taking on a long endurance challenge. Expect natural terrain and a refreshing outdoor experience rather than a city-road race.
