The route is a river valley course with impressive views of the surrounding mountains and fantastic views down the Paro Valley, but without any extreme climbs, keeping within an altitude range of 2200m and 2535m.

Mostly on trails and mountain paths with some road sections, the route has a number of climbs but with an altitude variation that stays between 2,200m and 2,530m there are no tremendously difficult sections although it remains a suitable challenge.

From the start at Zhiwa Ling, the first few kilometres are downhill on the road before crossing a metal swing bridge festooned in prayer flags. It then follows the Paro Chu River downstream where runners are at 2200m altitude. The route remains undulating along the Wang Chu tributary – going up one side for several kilometres, crossing a bridge and returning down the other side.

Arriving back on the road near Paro the half marathon is reached and the runners in the 21.1km will stop.
