The story;


Taking from the delectable singletracks of Kiara, we progress to a more scenic and run worthy trails of Canaan Valley, Serendah. Primarily as a palm oil estate, this venue offers an experience no other estate could offer. You will be running thru rivers, a lake, and lastly refreshing your tired legs at the finish line with a cold water rush of a waterfall. And did we mention the hill top view, well it’s quite a sight to behold.
