Most of the race takes runners just west of the city’s downtown along the paved, natural surface and gravel pathways that parallel the meandering Santa Rosa Creek. From the park, those running in the half marathon follow the route first north a few blocks and then onto the pathway that leads along the Prince Memorial Greenway alongside the creek. Runners and walkers follow the course all the way westward out to the turnaround point along Willowside Road.
