Run in previous years as a 20K race, the course for the half marathon takes runners and walkers on nearly the exact same course, with a little extra distance added to ensure the route reaches 13.1 miles. Runners follow a challenging and hilly out-and-back loop course here in this Ohio River Valley city and out into the nearby communities of Bethlehem and Elm Grove, before returning back into Wheeling for the race finish.
