The race uses a 21 km loop; marathon participants complete the loop twice, and half marathoners complete it once. This is not a fast, city-road race, as approximately 90 percent of the course runs through forest and field paths. The route is suitable for runners who prefer soft ground, varied footing, and a rural setting that can become challenging after rain. The participant list frequently includes triathletes and duathletes using this event as a final preparation before the Hel van Kasterlee, the local winter duathlon. One sold-out edition attracted 300 marathon runners and 1,600 half marathon runners, contributing to the event's significant participation while maintaining its local identity.

It is entirely traffic-free, marked by orange arrows and large signs, and limited to 1,500 participants across four start waves. The event includes a walking option for children up to 12 and dogs, offered free of charge, contributing to a wider local atmosphere compared to a race exclusively for runners.
