Runners in the half marathon share the same starting and finish line as those running the full marathon, along Grove Street near the Healdsburg City Hall. From there, the course heads briefly north and then turns at the first mile marker, where it begins the long trek south along Highway 101 toward the turn onto Westside Road and then for a long stretch along Dry Creek Road. Along the route, runners pass along beautifully scenic tree-lined country roads, century-old homes and vineyard estates.
