The race pack includes a technical gadget, every finisher gets a medal and a finish refreshment, and the total prize purse is 5,330 euros, with 1,200 euros for the winners. The expo and bib collection are in the Villa Rina car park outside Porta Treviso.

Start in Via Marconi and finish in the centre of Cittadella, where the award ceremonies are also held. The FIDAL class A certified, traffic-free course winds through the town centre, around and inside the walls, and through the outskirts and countryside, with every junction marshalled.
