The race takes runners on a course filled with rolling hills that starts and finishes in Charlotte’s SouthPark shopping and entertainment district, on Barclay Downs Drive. From there, participants follow Barclay Downs northward until they meet up with Runnymeade Lane, where they turn left and head along the southern edge of Myers Park Country Club on their way toward the intersection with Highway 16, also known as Providence Road.

This next section of the race features its longest straightaway stretch, which unfolds for nearly the next four miles along Providence Road until meeting up with Old Providence Road.

Runners follow the turn along this, the southernmost point in the race, and then begin heading northward again along Sharon View and later along Valencia Terrace. After a few more turns through this section of the city, the final stretch of the race takes runners along Ferncliff Road in toward the finish line at SouthPark Mall.

Aside from the shopping mall at the race’s start and finish lines, much of the course features tree-lined roads and highways, some of which feature the hills for which Charlotte is known, and all of which unfold along paved surfaces.
