The route

The route is 6,706 km, so it will be 100 miles in 24 hours. There is a separate route for day and night. The day route is a loop whereas the night route is a "out and back" route.

The day route is about 95 % trails and the rest is part of the sports field at the HQ. About half of the trails are easy and looks very much like in the picture below. The rest is a single track and requires more attention while running. The total elevation gain is about 80 meters per loop.

The night route is about 25% easy trails and the rest is paved asphalt road. The total elevation gain is about 50 meters per loop.
