This course has been designed to be fast and safe. For safety, the running route is closed to traffic, although runners should always be aware of the possibility of traffic incorrectly entering the course.
The race begins beside the Bandstand on Quidi Vidi Lake and runs down the Boulevard to finish just past the bridge at the end of the Lake. It is net downhill, with no uphill sections, and only one gentle curve, so it should produce your best mile times!
