Check out Map here: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/529443246 The Half Marathon course is point to point, flat, with a net elevation drop of 200 foot. You can look forward to scenic bridges, water stations with volunteers cheering you on every 2 miles, running past scenic lakes, through woodlands, farmlands, wetlands and the prairie on your way to the finish line in Carlisle, Iowa. The course showcases a rainbow of the state's natural heritage. The 10k will be point to point beginning at Summerset Park and ending in Carlisle. The 5k is as flat as mountain dew you poured and left out over night. All the courses are primarily on the beautiful Summerset Trail (former rail trail). Iowa is famous for its beautiful and picturesque cornfields, but for a taste of all things Iowa, the Summerset Trail in south-central Iowa is your ticket. All three races welcome all paces including walkers. You may hear roosters crowing and cows mooing all the while taking in the beautiful fall colors. The Half Marathon course will start in front of the Indianola High School using the full width of 1st Street, then it winds around the campus providing plenty of opportunities for friends and family to cheer you on before funneling onto the paved Summerset Trail. The course does an in and out into the stunningly beautiful Summerset State Park, then you will return to the bike trail the remainder of your way to Carlisle. The Half Marathon is USTAF Certified.
