Half marathon:  more challenging terrain with three half-mile sections of incline (but no monster hills) at the 4 mile mark, the 5 mile mark and on the return home 7.5 mile mark.  Trees provide shade along much of the route. 

Water stations are located at the 5K, 10K and half marathon turn-around points as well as the 5 (and 9) mile mark.
