Celebrating Year Five With Overall Course Improvements and Easier Parking Lot Exiting.
This year, both race distances feature a true loop course with no out-and-back sections. By extending the loop earlier along Austin Parkway, we eliminated the former out-and-back on Commonwealth (half distance) and created a more fluid, uninterrupted race experience from start to finish. The run into the finish has also been redesigned, removing the run around the parking lot and bringing runners in from behind the building for a clean, direct finish. As a result, the previous out-and-back on the north end of the parking lot for 10K runners (at the beginning) is gone as well. Best of all, with the new finish line route, once the race begins, all parking remains fully accessible. No one is blocked in, making entry and exit quicker and easier.
