The routes are very similar in that they both have a great mix of woodland trails, open meadows as well as some good muddy sections and great views of the city. The main difference is that the day race has a steep downhill and uphill (shown in the top right, by the 2km marker) which is not used in the night race. As a result, in the bottom left corner of the map, you can see the night race has some extra twists and turns to make up the distance. Apart from that, the routes are almost identical.
