Mount Misery takes place in the Cudlee Creek Forest Reserve in the Mount Lofty Ranges, about 45 minutes drive from Adelaide. The event is accessed via the Fox Creek Bike Park on Croft Road near Anderson Hill Winery.

The route passes through native bushland with abundant wildlife, including the locally known Eddie the Emu. Runners move along mainly fire trails with sections of single track and multiple creek crossings. Participants are invited to respect the traditional lands of the Kaurna and Peramangk peoples.
