Additional prizes/ Incentives:

*An alternative route up to 'The Cross' will also count towards the number of ascents if trail conditions are not favorable for Tonnelbos Climb. This might be a nice change of scenery for those that have done the Tonnelbos Climb a few times already. Please choose this option in very muddy and wet conditions.

See you out on the trails, the mountains, or the road!
