The 28k was a little firm under foot to really be called a trail run, however the longer courses do offer the trail experience, and I will be running it again next year to beat my time.

Tough course at times. The last hill at the ultra marathon was way too long to start at 40km and finish at 46km..

Only feedback really is that this was my first trail and did the middle course. There was only one hydration station at 8k then none after that. Also, perhaps an oversight on my part but I did not realize we needed our own cups for the drinks so I was unable to have any of the drinks
