The start and finish are on flat, hardstanding terrain. The Course is on surfaced paths which is predominantly flat apart from one small section with a steep incline. There is an alternative route for wheelchair users and prams.
The new 2026 course begins and ends at the iconic Blackpool Tower by the Comedy Carpet. Participants run towards North Pier, follow the lower promenade with individual U‑turns, then climb past the Hole in the Wall Café to the middle promenade before racing back to the finish. The 5k route is one lap, featuring a U‑turn in line with the go karting track and the Historic Lift Tower.
