It is an accurately measured route classified as road, consisting entirely of tarmac surfaces. The terrain is described as undulating and is conducted as an out-and-back loop system.

Each lap measures 5.3 km. Participants have the flexibility to determine their own distance by completing as many laps as they choose within the permitted timeframe.

An aid station is positioned at the end of every lap, providing runners with drinks and snacks. The event is open to individuals aged 18 and over, with a total capacity limited to 75 entrants. The course remains open until the mid-afternoon cutoff time.
