From there, the course is a simple one — from the starting line, runners head out onto the Big Creek Greenway, a combination boardwalk and concrete trail that winds through the area known as Big Creek, along a 12-foot-wide path for most of the route. After they make the turn, runners then retrace their steps all the way back to Fowler Park for the race finish. The scheduled starting time for the race is 7:30 AM, and organizers plan to limit the race to 3 hours, which means you’ll need to complete the 13.1-mile run by 10:30 AM in order to be an official finisher in the race.
