    On the way back, do not swim in the water catchment area; it is used as a source of drinking water.

    A KMV in the purest tradition of the sport; the course is laid out on a magnificent, steep trail, just as it should be.

    The slope is relatively consistent, becoming slightly less steep toward the top of the course. Markers are placed every 100m of elevation gain to help you pace yourself during the climb.

    To improve your performance, use the KMV Workshop worksheet, which offers tailored exercises.

    As we enjoy our sport, it’s essential to respect the work of farmers, other land managers, and property owners who welcome us onto their land:

    To prevent livestock from escaping, make sure to close all electric fences securely and do not damage them!

    Also, do not disturb the livestock; greet anyone you meet with a friendly “hello,” and of course, take all your trash with you! Do not cut across the meadows, and do not have picnics there either!
