A TRAIL CHALLENGE is a mass start cross country race over tracks and trails with a difference. The course is not marked by marshals but by checkpoints that are marked on a professionally made colour map given to you before you start. The TRAIL CHALLENGE arises from choosing the fastest route between the checkpoints. You will be provided with an electronic dibber to register at each checkpoint.
