Course notes describe primarily flat terrain with the Main Street Bridge providing the main climb. The 5K route uses the Arkansas River Trail, follows the west side of Lake Runyon, runs north along Phelps Creek, crosses Fay's Crossing Bridge, and enters the Riverwalk before returning to the start area. The 10K follows the river trail west for about 1.5 miles before turning, completes a full loop around Lake Runyon, and finishes via the Riverwalk.
There will be water stations along each course and one at the finish line. Course rules state no pets and allow strollers with caution due to narrow paths and a wooden bridge; strollers are advised to start toward the back and to pass carefully.
