The course begins easily with one mile of rolling hills, before taking its first turn upward as runners begin the two-mile climb up Mill Mountain, to the famous Mill Mountain Star - overlooking the beautiful Roanoke Valley. From there, a 2-mile decent down Prospect Avenue, and a final climb through a scenic neighbourhood.
Starting point is at Elmwood Park - on South Jefferson Street, just north of the Bullitt Avenue intersection.
