The only way to get to the island (to the start) is by ferry or plane. With a predominantly flat course and a 6-hours marathon and half marathon time limit, these races are suitable for all levels. Miles of sandy beaches and quiet forests await participants on this unforgettably beautiful course. Both the full and half marathon are relatively flat, with a few gentle rolls in the full marathon.
