You can expect to be cheered along the route as you run past Tipton Park and Four Seasons. The course is a runner’s delight with challenging hills, scenic views, and a course time limit of 3.5 hours for those taking on the half marathon distance (a generous limit for runners who wish to take a bit more time).

Not too far from the course are several landmarks and local gems like the Miller Park Zoo, the Circus Palace, and the Prairie Aviation Museum, all of which make great pit stops after you’re done running.
