The course for the Shelby Farms Greenline Half Marathon takes runners along the trails, park roads and bike paths of Memphis’s Shelby Farms Park, which at about 4,500 acres is more than five times the size of New York City’s Central Park. Much of the early part of the race unfolds past the ponds and along the trails inside the park, while the second half takes runners over a pair of bridge crossings over the Wolf River and into the neighborhoods just west of the park.
