The 13.1 Rocktoberfest Half Marathon and 5K begins and ends at the Criterium Course in Rock Hill, SC Riverwalk neighborhood. Groupies (runners) will get to run on the Criterium Course, head through the brand new beautiful Riverwalk neighborhood and eventually onto the paved Piedmont Medical Center Trail that runs along the river. There is a small 400 meter section of gravel road after mile 6 but you will soon enter the paved greenway again before you turn around and come back.
We have partnered with Start 2 Finish. All Half Marathon and 5K participants will be timed and will receive their disposable timing tag during packet pick up. If you have questions with results, please email clt@s2fsupport.freshdesk.com
