Minor Course Changes Announced Due to Construction

MINOR COURSE CHANGES ANNOUNCED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION

IMPORTANT NOTE: As announced earlier this week, the full marathon and half marathon courses will have a few minor changes this year due to construction along the Riverfront passed the St. Francis Healthcare building. Both courses have been re-certified.

The turn-by-turn directions are attached below. Changes are minor with no drastic alterations to the route. We will pass many of the same areas and roads as in year’s past but know that certain mile markers may change slightly from previous years.   Please pay attention to route markings on race day.

Thank you.
