The route is 11.6 kilometres long. It includes 671 metres of elevation gain.
The course follows the road from the village of Mátrafüred (343m), which sits at the foot of the Mátra mountain range, to the summit of Kékes, Hungary's highest peak (1,014m).
After the race, participants have to walk back to Mátrafüred but they can take a shorter trail through the forest.
