The Family Race starts in the centre of the Păltiniş resort, from the car park of the Hohe Rinne Păltiniş Hotel & Spa.

The course follows the old road that once led from the national road from Sibiu to the centre of the resort, known as Trecătoarea Cerbilor (the Deer Pass). Over about 2.5 km it passes some of the resort's best-known landmarks: the Hohe Rinne Păltiniş Hotel & Spa, Ceauşescu's Villa, Villa 12 or Constantin Noica's Villa, the old resort road, the Deer Pass, the Păltiniş Hermitage and Constantin Noica's grave.

The Family Race is an out-and-back course (about 5 km), properly marked for the race, with two tasks: spotting the 6 landmarks above and filling in a course form completely. The course has no difficult sections and can be covered easily.

The organisers reserve the right to change the course. Any changes will be announced.
