The race follows an out-and-back 13.1-mile route that starts and finishes in downtown Wichita at the Wave music venue. From there, runners follow a route that first takes them south and then east on an out-and-back stretch along East Douglas Avenue. This section of the half marathon also features the hilliest portion, with a slow incline in the first couple of miles that runners get to coast down when heading west again.
After finishing this out-and-back section, the course is almost halfway done, but there are still new sights to see. The half marathon course crosses over the Arkansas River and continues north along McLean Avenue for the next several miles, hugging the river for this flat section of the course. You’ll cross the river and pass Riverside Park and Veterans Memorial Park, all while coasting to the finish.
The final mile of the race takes runners southward back toward downtown, flat stretch along the bend in the river as they make their way in to the finish line, back where they started.
