The opening stage in Geoje will begin at the Jisepo Cruise Ship parking lot in Irun-myeon and follow a circular 104.3 km course through Mangchi Intersection, Hakdong Intersection, Hammok Intersection, Jeogu Intersection, Tappo Intersection, Omangcheon Intersection, Yeondam Intersection, Gucheon Intersection, and Samgeo Bridge before returning to the starting point. Riders will complete the circuit twice.
