The full marathon route covers 30 kilometers in total, while the half marathon is set at 21 kilometers.

The terrain is mostly flat with gentle inclines, making it ideal for runners of all abilities. Each lap measures approximately three kilometers, providing ample opportunities to soak in the natural beauty surrounding you.
