Runners can expect a steady (and gradual) uphill run for the race’s first five miles, which unfold first through campus and then through the rural areas just south of Cornell, including a crossing over Cascadilla Creek.
Once you reach Ellis Hollow Creek Road (the road along which most of the race takes place), the race course features some rolling hills, especially around the half-way point where the “famed” skunk cabbage is found.
Most of the rest of the running route — which is made up entirely of paved city streets — is fast and flat, or features some downhill stretches. After about miles 5 and 6, the race begins a long, steady and gradual downhill toward the finish line.
The course is sanctioned by USATF, organizers note, and the half marathon will feature four water stops.
Half Marathon Guide is the largest calendar and educational resource in the world for half marathon runners and enthusiasts with over 10,000,000 annual visitors.
