The course used to loop around downtown, running by the YMCA, City County Plaza, etc. before exiting downtown via Lexington Ave/Broadway. That same course returned to downtown via Montford Ave., then we ran to the finish via the gradual uphill that runs up Patton Avenue from near Jan Davis Tire to Pack Square, then left down Market St. to near the TW Memorial. That’s what I ran, twice, in maybe 2004 and 2006.
The route on your blog– is it new for this year? Or is this the route they ran last year?
It’s new this year. I ran it three times in the past (2006, 2008, 2009) and it was the course you describe in those years.
