Loop Course
There is currently construction going on in Mile Square Park, so our routes have changed slightly:

5k & 10k – this 5k route is used for the 5k (one loops), 10k (two loops with a small out and back) – route here
Half Marathon – this route is used for the half marathon, it's similar to the 5k route but has an added section and a small out and back (four loops)  – route here

More About the Course: This is a looped course, meaning you will begin and finish in the same location. Our courses are not closed, which means that there are often runners, walkers, and others enjoying the day along with you.

On-course support: Courses are well marked with two water stations and restrooms along the way.
