Course
A 15-mile point-to-point road course starting at the West Virginia State Capitol, running through downtown Charleston and the hillside neighbourhoods before dropping to the riverfront and finishing inside University of Charleston Stadium at Laidley Field. A three-person relay splits the route into 3-, 5- and 7-mile legs, and a flat, fast 5K runs alongside it.
