The country of Sri Lanka evokes serene tranquillity, such as wild turtles, peacocks, eagles, water buffalos and the famous Sri Lankan elephants roaming free in nature.

Projected at a distance of 210km held in 6 stages, you will start the race on 8 March 2015, in the religious temple area of Yapahuwa, which was once the ancient palace of Sri Lanka.
