Rond Terrace in Parkes serves as the central point, with the course winding through the capital, passing the Old and New Parliament Houses. It has the atmosphere of a large community fun run rather than a demanding competition, yet there is still considerable "determination, adrenaline, and inspiration" among the participants, as over 5,000 runners pursue their objectives. The route is swift and level, suitable for establishing a steady pace early on, allowing participants to either "hit a PB or complete your first race." The event welcomes beginners, families, and children. Following the finish, a bustling event village offers entertainment, food and coffee vendors, a PB Bell, areas for creating cheer signs, a recovery zone, medals, hydration stations, and spectator areas.
