The start will be from the front of the cultural center in Rășinari. The route ascends through the village streets towards Prislop village.
After exiting the village, approximately 1 km in, the half-marathon participants will turn right to bypass Prislop village, following the climb towards Rosengarten. This will be marked on the access road towards Măgura. After approximately 6.5 km, the route reaches the secondary ridge below the high-voltage line, following the road that leads to the main ridge connecting Măgura Peak to Păltiniș. After another 1 km, runners will find the first refreshment point at the MGS hut, where volunteers will allow only those within the set time limit of 3:45 from the start to continue the route. From here, the trail ascends towards Apa Cumpănită along the main ridge of the Cindrel Mountains, marked with a red stripe. At the intersection at Apa Cumpănită, runners will turn right onto the blue stripe and continue on the road descending from Păltiniș. In the Plai area, the trail intersects with the cross-country route and descends to Nea' Ion's hut, where the last refreshment point is located. From here, the route descends along trails for approximately 5 km back to Rășinari and towards the race finish line.
