The Race 13.1 Roanoke Half Marathon course follows an out-and-back route that starts and finishes at the River’s Edge Sports Complex on Wiley Drive, and all but a few miles of the course take runners along the Roanoke River Greenway trail. Mostly fast and flat thanks to its location along the river, the course has only really couple of hills to speak of — they’re both actually the same hill on Underhill Avenue, which runners will hit both going out and coming back on this out-and-back route.
