THE RUN
This is a moderate scenic route which is given a very special atmosphere by the lanterns placed 15 metres apart in the middle of the road for the entire distance. The steepest hill is in the first quarter of the race and is about two kilometres long. Most of the return trip is a nice gentle downhill run. In the interests of safety no vehicles are allowed on the route. The organisers also request that you wear reflective clothing.
FACILITES
The race forms part of the Ottosdal Draf & Trap Festival. A fête is held at the show grounds from 08h00 until late with much to eat and drink, and lots to do.
