Runners in the Palmetto Half Marathon follow an out-and-back course that starts and finishes in the area of Columbia known as the Village at Sandhill. From there, the race route winds through the Wildwood and Woodlands neighborhoods in the northeast part of the city, and follows an overall downhill route to the mid-point of the race, and then an overall uphill back to the finish line.
