The 13.1-mile course heads north on World Drive to the Magic Kingdom, runs through the park past Main Street and Cinderella Castle, then returns via backstage roads and an out-and-back through Epcot to the finish. The course is mostly flat, with the main elevation changes being the highway overpasses between Epcot and the Magic Kingdom.
