With a total distance of 21.0975 kilometers, this year's route covers scenic spots, including the Lujiazui area, the 2010 World Expo site and the New Bund (Qiantan Area), ending at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center on Yongyao Road.
Supply stations along the track have also been prepared, with water stations set up starting from three kilometers, and energy supply stations set up at 10 kilometers, 12.5 kilometers, 17.5 kilometers and 20 kilometers of the track. Cooling stations will also be set up.
