The Challenge in 2026 covered about 110 km on closed roads, according to the organiser. It started at Versmannstraße in HafenCity and headed south over the Elbe, crossing the Köhlbrand Bridge twice and, new that year, the Neue Elbbrücke twice.

The route continued through the Stade and Harburg districts, the Altes Land and Buxtehude. The organiser names the climb up Rosengartenstraße in Rosengarten as the sporting section of the course; no length or gradient is published. Riders then returned through the Port of Hamburg into the city and finished on Mönckebergstraße, near the town hall and the Binnenalster.
