|
Trail Ratings
Trails are rated for difficulty 1-5
from easiest to most difficult.
1. Easy trail,
on pavement.
2. Moderately
easy, could have natural surface, no difficult hills.
3. Moderate,
some difficult terrain such as hills or stairs.
4. More
difficult, rough surface and/or steep inclines.
5. Very
difficult, rough trail, steep hills or high altitude, only for those in good
physical health.
Walk at your own pace
Go as fast or as slow
as you want. Run or powerwalk if you want to go aerobic. Stroll if you wish.
Stop to picnic, shop, or sightsee if you want. Just be sure you can complete
the trail by the official finish time.
How
long does it take to complete a 10
kilometer trail?
At a very easy pace, it takes most people 2 hours. If
you are a power walker, you will finish in an hour and a half or less. More
difficult trails take longer.
