Runners will leave the back gate area of Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium on E Porter Avenue and head south to S Washington Street. Runners will run east along S. Washington Street and pass through the downtown area in the first few miles of the event. Athletes will turn off of S. Washington Street onto 5th Street where they will run past the famous 5th Avenue Station on their way to a right turn onto Columbia Street and mile 6 in the half marathon course. Runners will pass the Naperville Country Club at mile 7 and turn right onto Olesen Drive and begin a trip through some of the beautiful residential communities that surround North Central Collage! As runners approach mile 11 at the corner of Hobson Road and S Washington Street they will begin the last 2.1 miles along the Dupage River before reentering the campus of North Central College. As half marathon runners begin to enter the Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium they will be directed towards the outside lanes of the track to finish at the half marathon finish line. The half marathon has a 4-hour time limit.
