The course runs through varying terrain, from flat wooded bike trails to open rocky mountain trails. The route includes a steep ascent to Flinders Peak with views across Port Phillip Bay. Courses use a series of loops that start and return to the carpark, allowing supporters to see runners several times during the event.
Course maps and downloadable GPX and CRS files are provided for each distance. Bib collection is on the morning of the race. Entry fees vary by registration period and tickets are also available on race day at higher prices. Trailsplus uses the Humanitix ticketing system.
