Half marathon participants complete a second lap with a slight extension to reach the full 21.1 km distance. The route is on traffic-free tarmac or firm paths. The course includes kilometre markers for the 10 km and mile markers for the half marathon. Elevation is listed as under 50 m for the 10 km and about 100 m for the half marathon.
