About the Rut Training Runs (All Distances)
These are training runs on the actual mountain terrain used for the main Rut races, so the ground underfoot is the real thing: technical, high-altitude, and demanding. Several route lengths are available, each covering a different section of the race courses, with aid stations along the way and a marked course throughout. The focus is preparation, not performance.
