The race starts just yards from the emergency Tunnel exit road on Bevington Bush on the Liverpool side of the River Mersey and drops directly down on to the main approach road to deliver a fast descent into the Kingsway (Wallasey) Tunnel.​

The Tunnel takes runners on a journey of just over 3K before exiting on the Wirral side of the river before the course makes it's way along the Dock Road and the Seacombe Ferry terminal at the half way point.​

The second half of the race takes runners along the promenade overlooking the River Mersey showing off the impressive Liverpool skyline at it's best. The race finishes on Ian Fraser Walk at New Brighton.
