In 2026 the start was on Avenida Dante Michelini heading towards Tubarão, near Avenida Carlos Orlando Carvalho, with the aid stations following Dante Michelini past the Camburi bridge. From km 7 to km 10 the course crosses the Terceira Ponte, the bridge between Vitória and Vila Velha. The course then runs through Vila Velha along Avenida Castelo Branco and Rua Nossa Senhora da Penha and finishes at the Fábrica da Garoto.
