The Moonlit Walks offer two routes, a walking one and a running one. The walking route is about 5km, while the running route extends for 10km.
Sign-ups can be made online on the municipality’s site or in person at the Municipal Services secretaries at the Unions or Parish offices, or at the starting point of the walk itself on the day.
Access to the walks is free. It’s advised to bring a flashlight.
