The race courses utilize residential roads and a greenway, the Huckleberry trail. The 5K is run through a neighborhood and enters the trail after two miles. From thereon, all but the final 200 yards is on the trail. The 10 Mile follows the 5K course through the neighborhood, adds on some more residential running, before entering the Huckleberry trail at around 4 miles. The remaining 6 miles (except for the final stint to the finish)  is on the Huckleberry Trail. The picture at the top is taken on the 10 Mile course. A 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk is held before the start of the 10 Mile & 5K.
