Runners follow a loop course for the half marathon at the 18.12 Challenge, which commemorates the anniversary of the Battle of 1812. The race starts and finishes at the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Park in Watertown, N.Y., where the race finish line overlooks Lake Ontario. In between, runners will follow a very gradual uphill, then downhill run along County Road 62, County Road 66, and Military Road, all the way back to the battlefield at Sackets Harbor.
