Runners start both the half marathon and the 10K race along the Ronoake River in downtown Roanoke, near the O. Winston Link Museum featuring works by the photographer of the same name. From there, the course follows a loop course through Roanoke, following the path of the Roanoke River for much of the first half and into the second half of the event, before returning to neighborhoods and the finish line downtown.
