The first 3-4 miles of the course will be on tree-lined streets with gently rolling hills through beautiful residential neighborhoods, and the bulk of the flat and fast course will take place on the picturesque Four Mile Creek Greenway and McAlpine Creek Greenway, with the McAlpine Creek providing quite a beautiful view from the trail!

The RDs kept changing the course while during the race. The volunteers were not clear on which direction for the runners to go at certain points. It was muddy, slippery and dangerous. I ended up running a little over 13.5 because the volunteers did not know the turning points.
Another great event by Race 13.1

My 3rd time pacing a 13.1 event.
Well organized and lots of energetic support from the DJ and the volunteers. The Police and the volunteers were top notch and I really thank them for doing a great job.
Course was nice and scenic, small issue with the narrow walking bridge on the trail but other than that a nice course.
Tip of the cap to Omega sports little “refreshment” table on the route. Very cool and makes for a fun as well as enjoyable run.
I hope to be keep pacing for more of these runs as its a good time to visit with runners and not worry about “racing” every time.

Most of the course was along a boardwalk and greenway, which provided for a calm and scenic run. The course was relatively flat, allowing for personal bests! Great set up, not too crowded, and encouraging along the course!
