For the challenging half marathon, participants start southwest of the Apex Center parking lot for a 4-mile westward stretch, then turn south for a scenic 5.4-mile clockwise loop around Blunn Reservoir, before finally returning to the Ralston Creek Trail for a rewarding downhill finish. To ensure a great race, the course is supported by 8 aid station stops and 3 toilet stops along the route.
