The marathon course is a 21.1 km loop that returns to the Events Centre for a second lap to complete the full distance. The route passes through parts of the Town of Lincoln, rural sections and a vineyard area at Rossendale Wines off the Akaroa Highway, then onto Old Tai Tapu Road. Organisers describe the course as flat and suitable for fast times. The course is certified by a certificated road race course measurer for World Athletics and is graded and certified with AIMS.
There are drink stations positioned at approximately 4 km, 9.5 km, 15 km, 21 km, 25 km, 30.5 km and 36 km, plus at the finish line. Stations provide R-Line electrolyte drinks and water, and cups are supplied. Runners using vests or bladders may refill bottles or bladders at the stations.
Race starts are organised so all marathon runners start together; half marathon runs and walks and 10 km runs and walks start at separate times. The event naming sponsor is Urban Estates. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
