Runners follow an out-and-back course for the Gambler Half Marathon, which starts and finishes near the Mid American Center on Arena Way and then heads out onto the roads and Council Bluffs parks trail system. The race stays on the trails for about three miles before turning into Lake Manawa, where runners make their way along the lakeshore before heading back onto the trail and then back toward the Mid American Center for the race finish.
