The Course is mainly on off-road trails with partly rocky or grass ground, gravel or forest soil. Only in very few cases will there be asphalted ground.

The course is mostly profiled with some modest ascent and descents.

You will pass through numerous small villages, lonely beaches, cocoa-, coffee- and palm oil plantations during the race.

The start and finish for the 200km and 120km race are the same, just that the 120km race has short cuts every stage.
