It begins and ends in Terni, with the course running through the Valnerina region, passing landmarks such as the Basilica of Saint Valentine, the Marmore Falls, medieval villages like Ferentillo, Montefranco, and Arrone, and scenic valleys. The terrain is paved road, with rolling hills, some climbs and descents, but generally manageable for runners with moderate experience.
