The start is at the stadium. The track is an 8.4 km long circuit, which must be run 12 times. The route runs along both sides of the river Eisack and goes through the Unicon16 Stadium. Inside the stadium will be the water-stop and the zone to change riders for the teams.The track is very flat and has little but sharp turns; a part of the route is packed gravel and easy forest floor with small roots, but is easy to handle with a 36-inch unicycle.You can view the 100km route online: Link
