The route climbs from the start to Ashton. The 10 kilometres long ascent slopes at 5% and after moving through the town west of Adelaide the route continues on undulating terrain.
The race comes down to three passes of a 35 kilometres loop that encompasses Kenton Valley, Gumeracha and Cudlee Creek. Each time, the punchy climb on Fox Creek Road throws in 1.6 kilometre at 8.8% and ramps up to 18%. The last passage at the top happens with 8 kilometres to go before a rolling section leads to a 2 kilometres descent and the last 1.5 kilometres on the flat.
Two intermediate sprints come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds each, while the first three riders on the line take time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds.
