Runners start the course for the Scenic Half Marathon, like the 10K and 5K runs, at Sandpoint’s City Beach, which lies at the end of the island just across the waterway from the city’s downtown. From there, runners follow Bridge Street to 1st Avenue, where they follow the bike path and then head to the Long Bridge that crosses the lake. They follow the highway over the bridge all the way to the turnaround point on Lakeshore Road on the southern side of the lake and back.
