The route is fully signed with pink arrows and glow sticks at night. An event app provides Google route maps and GPS tracking; timing scans record progress at rest stops. Covered rest stops appear about every 12.5 km with larger facilities about every 25 km, offering meals, snacks, drinks, seating, changing areas, and medical support.

Catering covers a range of dietary needs and includes lighter options for runners and a finishers meal. Camping is available near the midway 50 km point for multi day options, with showers and chill areas. Shuttle buses and transfers serve local stations and key venues.
