The course begins near the visitor centre carpark, offering a scenic start before heading along the Orokonui fence line. Participants will traverse diverse terrain, including compacted gravel, grass, beach, asphalt, and coarse gravel, culminating in a climb through the sanctuary’s protected forest. This varied landscape presents a total elevation change of approximately 600 meters.

The atmosphere is enriched by the sanctuary’s commitment to biodiversity, as all proceeds support wildlife advocacy and conservation efforts. The event fosters a sense of community involvement, allowing participants to contribute to the ecological mission while enjoying the natural beauty of the region. The route also features stunning coastal views, making it a memorable experience for all involved.
