HALF MARATHON:

The point-to-point half marathon begins at Jump off Rock, a national landmark and the Town of Laurel Park’s highest peak, and finishes in the heart of downtown Hendersonville on Main Street. This gently downhill and scenic 13.1 mile course is fast and has breathtaking views, but we are in the mountains of WNC and some hills are to be expected. Half Marathoners will wind their way downhill through the beautiful back-roads of Laurel Park then on historic city streets and around Hendersonville’s Osceola Lake before heading into downtown Hendersonville. The point-to-point race and the scenic course are sure to bring PRs and mountain memories to last a lifetime.

10k:

10k runners will start their race at the Hendersonville YMCA. They will join in on the half marathon route at about the half-way point with half marathoners. The 10k route is paved surfaces and moderately flat with a couple gentle rollers. The 10k runners will run on historic city streets, around the Hendersonville’s Osceola Lake and back to downtown Hendersonville.

5k:

5K runners will start alongside the 10K runners at the Hendersonville YMCA. The course follows the 10K route before branching off and winding back through Hendersonville’s neighborhoods. Runners will finish on Main Street in historic downtown Hendersonville at the same finish line as the half marathon and 10K.

The 5K course will have one water station near Mile 2.

All races will finish at the same location in Historic Downtown Hendersonville on Main Street.
