Peneda-Geres Trail Adventure 4 – Kirsten Kortebein
The race’s course throughout the 8-stage race threw competitors a number of landscapes and obstacles to navigate. The river pictured here is tame, but one of the biggest challenges runners faced was the unpredictability of water levels in the rivers. There was heavy rain nearly every day throughout the eight stages, and this could cause dramatic surges in river speed and level. The race course had to be changed numbers times throughout the week in order to re-route around dangerous river conditions.
