Course Map
YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL START IN FRONT OF THE ALLEY’S WATER TOWER IN DOWNTOWN MONTGOMERY.
The FIRST two miles are uphill. So, be patient and don’t go all out here. Enjoy the sunrise, relax and let the ghost of Hank Williams Sr.’s tunes bring you past The Oakwood Cemetery. Around mile 3, you will find yourself surrounded by massive oak trees in Montgomery’s oldest park, Oak Park. You will run over I-85 and find yourself running faster as the Alabama State Marching Hornets provide some on course motivation at mile 5. Miles 6-9 will have you going through Huntingdon College and one of Montgomery’s beautiful neighborhoods, Old Cloverdale. Did you save enough energy to get you up Perry Street? Don’t burn all your matches as you make your way up this hill at mile 10. You will cross back over I-85 and cruise through downtown Montgomery. Hold on as you find yourself flying down Dexter Avenue in front of the Alabama State Capitol. If you have enough left in the tank, you should burn it all in this last mile. Finish strong and run through the outfield at Riverwalk Stadium.
