- Join the crushed-gravel track and proceed counterclockwise with other track users.

Good to know
The Reservoir track operates counterclockwise, so enter and continue in that direction. The crushed-gravel surface can change with weather and maintenance, and the official running guide does not establish step-free conditions for every approach.
