Runners are set to follow a point-to-point loop route for the half marathon that starts in the Birkdale Village shopping center and finishes just across the street from the Birkdale Golf Club. In between the race start and finish lines, the race will take runners largely through residential neighborhoods filled with rolling hills — the biggest hills occur between miles 1 and 2 and around the mile 5 marker, along Hugh McAuley Road.
