COURSE:

This Half Marathon is HALF on the roads and HALF on the beautiful greenway paved trails. 

You will start on the backside of Atrium Health University and run down N. Tryon Street before entering the greenway trails after the 1 mile mark.  Ahh…shade, cool temperatures, and great scenery!  You will then follow the trail until around 5.8 miles where you will jump onto the roads for the next few miles.  At around the 8.5 mile mark you will then jump back onto the trails where you will head back towards the start.  At around the 12.7 mile mark you will exit the trail and run the roads to the finish at the backside of Atrium Health University.  Time to celebrate with a ton of different local craft beers.  RUN LOCAL, DRINK LOCAL
