The route is changed from previous editions with the finish now in Liège, rather than Ans.[2] At 138.5 km, the race is approximately half the distance of the men's event. It starts in Bastogne, from where it heads north to finish in Liège on the same location as the men's race. The route features five categorised climbs: the Côte de Wanne, Côte de Brume, Côte de la Vecquée, Côte de La Redoute, and Côte de la Roche aux faucons.[1]
