From the starting line near the Theatre in the Park just off Renner Road, runners follow an out-and-back route for the half marathon that runs in a roughly north-south direction. After leaving the starting area, runners follow park roads through Shawnee Mission Park along the northern edge of Shawnee Mission Park Lake. The course then curves southward along the bends in the river, taking runners southward along a combination of paved roads and park trails.
