The Summer Extravaganza takes place beside the Leeds/Liverpool Canal at Wyther Lane, Kirkstall, about 3 miles from Leeds city centre. The route follows a canal towpath and is run as a lapped course; one lap measures 6.7 miles. Organisers describe the course as flat and good underfoot. Seven distances are offered on the same course layout.

There are feed and water stations typically around every three miles. All finishers receive a bespoke medal and finish-line food options include cake and a BBQ roll with gluten free and vegan choices; drinks at the finish include tea, pop and beer. Marshals are positioned on course and registration is located over the road from the start/finish at the junction of Wyther Lane and Broad Lane; bibs are issued on the day of registration. Car parking is free at Morrisons in Kirkstall, a short walk from the start area.
The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and uses a largely cup-less approach at feed stations so runners are asked to bring a reusable cup or bottle. Large over-ear headphones are banned; bone conduction or single in-ear use is acceptable. Transfers and deferrals can be made online up to 48 hours before the event. A 6.5 hour cut off applies to the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
