On the descent, runners will enjoy some of the best views the Causeway Coast has to offer before they make their way back to the seafront area.

All participants will receive a much sought after medal designed especially for the occasion, with prizes up for grabs for the top three male and female finishers, and age categories as well. There will also be a post-race picnic to look forward which is always a highlight of the day.
