Pro tips

  1. 01

    Cool Morning Layers

    Typical race-day temperature is 10.8°C. Dress in layers you can shed; it will feel cool at the start but warm up as you run.

  2. 02

    Fast and Flat

    The course has little elevation change and smooth paved roads. Use this for a fast time, but stay controlled in the early miles through Ottawa Hills.

  3. 03

    One Loop Tour

    The marathon is a single loop from UT campus through Ottawa Hills, Sylvania, and Wildwood Metropark. The finish is inside the Glass Bowl Stadium, so save energy for the final campus tour.

    Shared Start

    Marathoners and half marathoners start together on Bancroft St. If running the full, avoid getting swept up in the half's faster early pace.
