The course is described as flat with sealed road surfaces. The start and finish are located outside Mount Maunganui Surf Club at 21 Adams Ave, Mount Maunganui. Wave starts are used for the 21 km and 10 km events; runners self-seed into zones based on ability and expected finish time.

Age entry rules are specified: 16 years and older for the 21 km, 10 years and older for the 10 km, and the 5 km is open to all ages. All finishers in each distance receive a finisher medal. Awards and spot prizes are presented at a prize giving in front of the stage at the finish area, with age group medals for men and women in the 21 km and 10 km, and top five men and women recognised in the 5 km.
Aid stations are positioned along the courses at set kilometre marks and supply water and electrolyte hydration. A bag check service is available at the start and finish areas with collection required on event day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
