The flagship 17.17 km course climbs from Murten’s Hauptgasse (453 m) to Fribourg’s Place Georges-Python (615 m), gaining 388 m overall through gently rolling terrain. Alternate routes include a 9.65 km Courtepin-to-Fribourg course and extended 26 km trail variant, with walking and Nordic-walking options available.
