Runners start the out-and-back course for the Hospice Half Marathon at the Dasher Church of Christ, which lies in the community of Dasher just south of Valdosta off Highway 41. From there, runners then head out onto the streets of the areas south of Valdosta, which runners can expect to be largely flat and fast, thanks to the city’s location on the mostly flat coastal plain region of southern Georgia.
