Reading the route
Gauja Trail 100 K stays nearly flat: the trail never climbs past 105 m, following the Gauja river and its sandstone cliffs. The start, at Sigulda New Castle, is at 7:30 am.
From the castle, the course crosses the town's bobsleigh track, then climbs a short rise at Rata kalns, before dropping back toward the river.
The trail then follows the wooded Gauja valley to Bērzi, then Līgatne, between sandstone cliffs and deep forest.
It passes Pie Amatas, then Ozolkalns, before reaching Cēsis and its ski slopes at the finish. Runners have 18 hours to complete the course.
