The journey begins on relatively smooth paths around Binyamina - Givat Ada, offering a gentle introduction to the landscape. As you progress, the terrain will gradually evolve, introducing more challenging sections. You'll navigate through areas like HaShikmim and near the Old Coastal highway, experiencing a mix of packed earth, gravel, and some rocky ascents. The climb towards Dror will test your endurance, with steep inclines that require good technical skill and a strong cardiovascular capacity.
