​Starting in Nelly Bay, participants enjoy a sunrise over Geoffrey Bay before tackling the Nelly Arcadia Track and Sphinx lookout. The route includes a climb to WWII Forts, a challenging out-and-back trek to Balding Bay, then past Florence Bay before the climbing starts from Arthur Bay to the Nelly Arcadia Trail.

The final leg is a flat section leading to the  finish line party at Nomads.
