The route is slightly hilly with total ascent D+ 129 m and descent D- 134 m, so walkers should expect gentle rolling terrain. The course passes through several festive points and attractions, including a transformed cuvage, a château with music and activities, and numerous on-route animations.

Practical details relevant to walkers:

• Loop course on paved roads with some short climbs
• 13 km distance suitable for leisure walking within the event atmosphere
• 3 on-course refreshment points for food and drink
• Time limit for the event is 3 hours, with intermediate cutoffs at km 8 (Château de la Venerie) and at the finish
