The run courses start at RiverScape, quickly cross the river into Deeds Park, and follow the path northward to Island Metropark. After a quick loop through Island, racers return on the path along Riverside, passing the Korean War Veterans Memorial before crossing the bridge and returning to RiverScape. The bike course is an out-and-back along the Great Miami River Trail that turns around at VFW Post 3438 in West Carrollton. The final run follows the same path as the opening run, but in the reverse direction.
