Runners follow an out-and-back course that takes them on a clockwise loop around Big Glen Lake at the Glen Arbor Solstice Half Marathon, which starts and finishes near downtown Glen Arbor at the intersection of Lake Street and Lakewood Drive. From there, the race unfolds along mostly flat paved roads, with the exception of the climb the course makes in the second half of the race, as runners ascend Inspiration Point near the southern end of the lake.
