Characterized by flat topography and minimal elevation changes, the route is designed to support a consistent running rhythm.
Participants can choose from several distances and formats:
- 42.2 km Marathon (starting in Emmersdorf)
- 21.1 km Half Marathon (starting in Spitz)
- 11 km Quarter Marathon (starting in Achleiten)

The event includes a marathon expo and bib collection at the Messe Krems. While the main races occur on Sunday, the junior competitions and expo activities begin on Saturday. The marathon finish area is located in Krems an der Donau. Relay options for the full marathon distance allow groups to split the 42.2 km course into segments for two, three, or four runners.
