The course starts at Ellis-Porter Riverside Park and travels on the Greenway Trail, the streets of Jefferson City, through the old Missouri State Penitentiary, and across the Missouri River.
Runners will pass the gas chamber and cell blocks of the original Missouri State Penitentiary, the Governor’s Mansion and the Capitol, to name a few things on the route.
Jefferson City has some hills, but the scenery makes up for them. The 10k follows the same route, but it does not cross the Missouri River.
