Runners follow a loop course for the San Luis Obispo Half Marathon, which starts and finishes near the Madonna Inn. The course begins by heading out toward the Irish Hills Nature Preserve with mountain views before heading back to downtown San Luis Obispo. From there, the race continues through downtown and uptown, where runners can view Fremont Theatre, Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, and the Railroad District before heading back to the finish line.
