Course Highlights

The Half Marathon starts at the iconic Jump Off Rock in Laurel Park, with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and colorful spring blooms. Runners then follow a gently downhill, USATF-certified course into the heart of downtown Hendersonville—known as one of the most picturesque half marathons in the Southeast.

The 5k & 10K both start together at the Hendersonville Family YMCA. The 5K follows the 10K course before branching off and winding back through Hendersonville’s neighborhoods. The 10k joins the half marathon route partway through and both continue around Lake Osceola before all three courses finish on Main Street in historic Downtown Hendersonville, where runners will be welcomed with lively finish line festivities and small-town charm.
