For the half marathon, runners — and walkers, the race is open to both — start their race just off North Higgins Lake Drive. From there, runners follow the route as it winds its way eastward and southward, first for about 3 1/2 miles along North Higgins Lake Drive and Roscommon Road, after which it begins a series of turns and briefer stretches through the neighborhoods and park areas that lie along the lakeshore.
