Here’s the perfect short run that truly gives a taste of how much fun trail running can be. Packed full of moderately technical features like berms, rises, the odd rock garden, a bridge, and great weaving trails, yet there’s nothing too frightening for beginners, with most of the terrain undulating at best, and any climbing features switchbacks to ease the burden. Yet the run is a beautiful one, with alpine views off the back end, and a stones-throw from the village centre, making it a sublime morning riser, introductory taster or an afternoon finisher.
