Those runners who love cross country come back to run this event every year. Even if you don’t like cross country come and enjoy the scenery. The run itself is fairly testing mainly due to a 1km stretch of beach which really takes the sting out of your legs. Be advised to do all your passing in the first half of the race as the track narrows considerably later on. Visitors are requested not to wander around the island, nor bring any animals along.
