The half marathon uses a Pit Lane start. Runners exit the Pit, take a sharp left and run up the straight under the start finish line, then complete one lap of the International circuit followed by two laps of the GT circuit. The other distances take place on the circuit layout used by the event.
Registration is organised in tiered booking periods with early bird, standard and late pricing that vary by distance. Event information references the Shell V Power Motorsport Park at The Bend and the circuit map for course details. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
