Runners follow an out-and-back loop course filled with rolling hills that starts and finishes in Charlotte’s SouthPark shopping and entertainment district, on Barclay Downs Drive. From there, much of the course features tree-lined roads and residential neighborhoods, including stretches through sections of the city like Olde Providence North and Governor’s Square. The race finish line lies just a stone’s throw from the start, back at the SouthPark shopping mall.
