Route description: 35km & 15km
The race starts at the Church Hall from where you follow the guide and the signs through town. From there you turn onto a Jeep track gravel road leading through vineyards. The route takes you up the slope of the Kasteelberg through olive trees, from where you descend through vineyards until you reach the split between the 2 routes. Watch out for the steep contours and loose gravel on your way down! The 15km route returns from here to the finish line at the Church Hall. The longer route continues back up the mountain through wheat fields from where there is a panoramic view of the valley with a water point at the top. Prepare yourself for a steep downhill from there. Once again, watch out for loose gravel! Now you just follow the well-marked route back towards the finish line where you can take part in our Annual Church Bazaar, until the prize giving at 12h00. A sweeper vehicle with medical supplies will follow behind the last riders.
