Set in Dublin, a northwestern suburb of the Columbus metro area, the race starts and finishes in the shadow of nearby Interstate 270.
The starting line lies along Metro Place North, just a stone’s throw from the nearby Crowne Plaza Hotel at 600 Metro North Place, where race organizers recommend participants stay thanks to its close proximity to the start line and the race course.
From there, the course follows a simple, counter-clockwise loop route around Metro Place North and Metro Place South, and along the service road that parallels Frantz Road.
Thanks to its uniquely tight loop course around the Metro Place streets, the Last Chance race is probably one of the flattest races you’ll ever run, as there’s an elevation change of just 4 feet over the course of the entire race.
