This course has been designed to be fast, flat, and safe. For safety, the running route is closed to traffic in the direction of the runners, although runners should always be aware of the possibility of traffic incorrectly entering the course.
The race begins in front of Princess Auto on Aberdeen Avenue and consists of almost two complete loops, finishing on Stavanger Drive just after the Carrick Drive intersection. This avoids repeating the incline up to Aberdeen on the 2nd loop.
