Half Marathon

Prepare for a fast, flat, double out-and-back, two-lap course that's perfect for chasing your personal record! The race begins at the Stenger Sports Complex and immediately connects with the scenic Van Bibber Creek Trail. Runners head west for about 2.5 miles to hit the first turnaround point. The design of this course means great visibility! On your return eastward, you'll complete a loop that brings you back toward the start area to begin your second lap—it’s a perfect spot to clock your Strava lap. After completing the eastbound section for the second time, you'll head straight for the finish line! To keep you energized, the route features 10 aid station stops and 4 restroom stops. Plus, this course is designed with spectators in mind: your fans can easily cheer you on from a spot near the venue where you'll pass by three times!
