Runners will start the race at the Waverly Civic Center, which lies between 1st and 2nd Avenues downtown, just east of the river. From there, the course unfolds first along a clockwise loop around Three Rivers Park, and then onto the Kohlmann Park Trail. That stretch will take runners south and east toward Brookwood Park, where they’ll make a loop around that park before retracing their steps along the Kohlmann Park Trail again. Next, the race takes runners back through town and then onto the Waverly Rail Trail, which stretches more than 7 1/2 miles long through the city, from downtown all the way to where it meets U.S. Highway 63. The trail is 10 feet wide and paved with asphalt throughout. Here’s what the race director said in an email to HalfMarathons.Net, describing the course:
