participants
The running and mountain bike trail are beautiful and require no special skills. However, the Kikonko Bike Challenge is a real challenge. It is a very steep climb. The Gravel Bike Race is only for well-trained athletes who can use their own navigation equipment. It is really a tough ride. There are no marshals! 75 kilometers, but also beautiful.
