All race distances (marathon, half marathon and 5K) start together at 8:00 AM in Depot Park and finish at the same finish line. The 5K course splits from the marathon and half just after mile one. The marathon and half run the first 13 miles together and split at mile 13 providing a large post-race party in Depot Park.
