Courses: Both the 10K and half-marathon are USATF certified "out-and-back" courses. Mile markers will be placed for both races. Both the 10K and the half-marathon start on paved road, transition through paved greenway (Cary's Black Creek Greenway) and crushed-gravel, hard-packed bridle trails of Umstead State Park, and finish on pavement. The courses officially close at 10:00 a.m.

Course Maps:

Start and finish areas shown are for BOTH the half-marathon and 10K races.

Water stations: Water and Gatorade® will be available on the entire course. There are water stations serving both directions along the courses:

• Water station #1 on Black Creek Greenway before the entrance to Umstead State Park.
• Water station #2 in Umstead State Park just past the airport overlook.
• Water station #3 in Umstead State Park at the Graylyn Trail intersection.
• Water station #4 at the Trinity Road entrance to Umstead State Park.

Trash cans will be located near the water stations. Please drop any trash in (or at least near) them. Help us keep the course clean.

Water stops shown are APPROXIMATIONS and subject to change based on accessibility issues inside Umstead State Park. Race staff will do everything possible to ensure adequate aid is available for all participants, though runners advised to supplement with carried aid as needed.

• Triangle American Red Cross personnel will be stationed near the finish line and at Water Station #1 near the entrance to Umstead State Park. There will be volunteers checking the course during the event. If you are injured or otherwise need medical assistance, please ask another runner to notify either the course supervisor or the nearest course monitor.
  
• Because of the limited width of the Greenway and Park trails we ask that runners not be accompanied by bicyclists. The extra traffic only increases the possibility of an accidental collision.
• Runners with baby joggers must check with the registration desk to have it inspected prior to the start of the race. No other types of strollers are permitted.
  
• The course closes at 10:00 a.m. For safety reasons, any runners still on the course at that time will be asked to move out of the road and on to the grass shoulder.
  
• Although the course is closed to vehicles during the race and we have Cary Police officers and course volunteers at every strategic point possible, there is always a potential for a car to enter the course from a driveway or business. Please be alert of your surroundings.
  
• RRCA rules and our insurance do not allow the use of iPods, MP3 players, headphones, or other personal listening devices during races. While you may be accustomed to using one during your practice runs and prefer to run with one, we must ask that you honor our policy. Runners violating this policy will be disqualified from the race and banned from participating in the event in future.
