Notable Features
The Amberaid follows a figure-8 route design through the Amber Valley, offering runners extensive woodland trails and rural countryside paths. The event's navigation-focused approach provides GPX files and route notes while keeping most sections unmarked, appealing to runners who enjoy the challenge of route finding. With comprehensive checkpoint support and a fallback option allowing Amberaid runners to switch to the shorter Petit Raid distance if needed, the event balances adventure with safety.
