Runners follow an out-and-back course largely along the banks of the Kanawha River at Charleston’s UC Half Marathon, which starts and finishes on the campus of the University of Charleston, along Cherokee Avenue. From there, the race features long straightaway stretches along both Kanawha Avenue and Virginia Avenue through the part of the city known as Kanawha City, before bringing runners back to campus for the race finish.
