In short: Flat, competitive, dark
In full: Flat as a sat-on pancake, so you basically fly along the seafront. Very, very fast start, so be warned about fast pace. Also, it's dark, and everywhere looks the same, so it's hard to judge where you are. Very violent racing too - a lot of shoving and cutting-in.
