The full marathon route begins on Lake Robbins Drive near the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and winds down Grogans Mill Road to Sawdust Road and west through the villages of Panther Creek, Sterling Ridge and Alden Bridge. The finish line will be back in Town Center near the starting line.
The half marathon route will take runners from Lake Robbins Drive near the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, down Lake Woodlands Drive to Kuykendahl Road, up Research Forest Drive to Grogans Mill Road and back to Lake Robbins Drive to the finish line.
