Runners use the greenway toward Roc-Saint-André before returning on the towpath, transitioning quickly from town lanes to canal-side running. Registration requires a valid running license or PPS, bibs are collected on site, and every participant receives a gift.

The half marathon is FFA certified, making it the sole certified half marathon in Finistère, allowing participants to qualify for the French championships. The course begins in a village designated as one of France's most beautiful, proceeds through the countryside of Plogonnec and Le Croëzou, and becomes more verdant and forested before concluding in Quimper, the capital of Cornouaille. The finish line is situated on the Odet quays, near Saint-Corentin Cathedral, placing the end of the race in the historic city center rather than a nondescript sports facility. The event attracts runners from all over France, with previous half marathon fields exceeding 2,000 participants and the 10 km drawing over 1,000. Additionally, free youth races for ages 7 to 15 are available, along with entertainment at the start and finish, and post-race crêpes.
