As for the race itself, the course takes runners on an out-and-back loop first around the city’s downtown and then out onto the riverwalk sections of both Columbus and nearby Phenix City, Ala., which lies just across the Chattahoochee River from Columbus. Runners will follow the route for just under a mile on the Alabama side of the river, and then cross back over at the Dillingham Street bridge between the mile 3 and 4 markers back into Georgia. After that, runners then make their way for a long stretch along the city’s riverwalk, heading south and east down past the city’s Memorial Stadium, which hosted the annual University of Georgia vs. Auburn University SEC football game until the mid-1950s. Today, the stadium hosts a number of local high school football and soccer games. Once past the stadium, runners continue down to the turnaround just past the mile 8 marker, and then head back north along the route they’ve just run.
