The only real circuit in the capital. Three laps is 36 km and about as much as your patience will take. Night-safe: lit end to end.

Turn by turn · 7 steps

1
Roll out from the harbour front on Boduthakurufaanu Magu heading west. Lights are with you before 06:00.
≈ 1.7 km
2
Stay on the outer ring for 2.1 km past the fish market — surface is smooth but watch the drain covers on the left.
≈ 3.5 km
3
Sweeping right-hander at the western tip. Take it wide; there is standing water here after rain.
≈ 5.2 km
4
South side for 3.4 km. This is the fast section — sheltered from the NE wind and dead flat.
≈ 6.9 km
5
Ease through the industrial gate at 6.2 km. Trucks reverse out of here from 06:30 onward, so keep the speed sensible.
≈ 8.6 km
6
East side for 2.8 km along the sea wall. Cross-wind section — expect to lose 2–3 km/h.
≈ 10.4 km
7
Final 1.4 km back along the harbour to close the lap. Most riders do three laps and call it a session.
≈ 12.1 km
