From there, the race takes runners onto College St. before turning onto Hilliard Avenue and then left on Clingman Ave which becomes Haywood Road. The course takes runners south along a mostly-downhill stretch, where they will hit the 2 mile mark in the River Arts District, home to a variety of artists and studios setting up shop in old factories and historical buildings.
Just past the 2 mile water stop runners weave their way north toward the French Broad River, where the course flattens out for the next three miles.
Some of the race’s most scenic terrain is found in these next few miles, which unfold along the winding French Broad River, which stretches more than 200 miles across North Carolina and Tennessee. Runners head north along Lyman Street and Riverside Drive for about four miles along the river, before turning off at Old Burnside Hill Road to head north toward Beaver Lake.
