All races start just outside Ting Park and pass through local neighborhoods including Bridgewater, Windcrest, and Sunset Ridge. The 5K has a turnaround on Crossway Lane in Sunset Ridge. The 10K uses a canopy-covered greenway through Veterans and Jones parks and turns near Womble Park on S. Main St. The half marathon continues downtown by Town Hall, through Womble Park, along the Carl Dean greenway to Bass Lake Park, runs about two miles around Bass Lake on a mulch trail, follows the Sugg Farm trail, then returns via S.

The ruck half marathon has a course cutoff of 3 hours 30 minutes.
