The half marathon is an out-and-back course that follows the waterfront, connects to the Ruston Way Path, and reaches Point Ruston Waterwalk and Dune Peninsula Park. The route includes the Wilson Way Bridge before returning along the waterfront to downtown. The 10K follows part of the half marathon waterfront route as an out-and-back. The 5K is a 3.1 mile event open to runners and walkers.
Course support for the half marathon includes multiple aid stations with water and electrolyte supplies and several fixed restroom locations along the route. Pacers are provided by Half Fanatics and Marathon Maniacs. Finish-line amenities include food and beverages and a post-race gathering at The Forum Restaurant & Bar near the finish area.
