5km – Short route runners will follow the same markers as the long distance to the ridge and central point at Gilloolys with a great view where you will find a water point. Head down the HoChiMihn singletrack forest and hope you make it back to Muratie…
10km – An extraloop after the refreshment station about half-way at Gillooly’s. More forest singletrack = more time to be spooked…
