Runners start the half marathon — which follows an out-and-back course that past participants say is very flat and fast — at the Dorchester County Y, on the Somerset Avenue side of the facility. From there, runners make their way out toward the banks of the Choptank River and follow the same course that’s been used at the annual June running of the Eagleman Ironman 70.3 Triathlon.
