After transitioning from two wheels to foot, runners embark on a 2.5-kilometer run that traces the beautiful riverside path in a clockwise direction back towards Selkirk Leisure Centre. The well-maintained trail provides a pleasant running surface with stunning views of the river and surrounding landscape, culminating in an inspiring finish line at the pool.
For those who prefer to team up, relay options are available for groups looking to share the challenge across different disciplines. Each participant can enjoy their own segment while supporting teammates from the sidelines or on the route.
