This route climbs up to Merlet Animal Park and then circles around it in the forest. It’s a great choice on a rainy day because you’re always sheltered. The nature-lovers among you will appreciate that you’ll likely see some animals behind the fence. The trails are rough, which makes this a good route to practice technique on.
While not strictly an update to the route, we can offer a second bailout option for the Merlet run. Here’s the link for the GPX file on Strava: https://www.strava.com/routes/3226193034550377754
Bonus KMs and Bailouts
The bonus kilometers offer big rewards, so try to include them if you have time!
Note that not every run has a bailout. But if a run does, we've included the download below.
