You start flat in Preston Park, head north along London Road and turn back through the centre past the Theatre Royal and Royal Pavilion. Climbs come in the first mile and again around miles 7, 9 and 11, on the way to the Ovingdean U-turn. The return takes in Madeira Drive and Hove, finishing near Hove Lawns. Roads are tarmac apart from 200 metres of block paving near Mile 4.5, and water is handed out roughly every two miles.
