The route is taken care of and you will get the chance to learn from an experienced ultra runner, and get any running questions you may have answered.

This awe-inspiring fortress, constructed by none other than William the Conqueror in the 11th century, awaits our arrival. Prepare to be captivated by its ancient charm.
As we ascend back onto the ridge, a mesmerizing panorama unfolds, treating us to breathtaking vistas of the coast and its surrounding landscapes.
