Runners start the Asheville Half Marathon course along College Street next to Pack Square Park, and from there head west through downtown for several blocks before turning left onto Clingman Avenue. The early miles are mostly flat, accompanied by several miles along the French Broad River. That’s followed by some hills over the next several miles in the middle of the race. The home stretch brings the field in on an uphill along Broadway, all the way to the finish line on Spruce Street.
