Heroes of America Marathon course.

1. 01

   Cool start layers

   Race-day temperature is typically 7.9C, so dress for a cool start and have a plan to shed a layer once you are running.

2. 02

   Start by Woodruff

   The 08:00 start is at W 10th and Bay Ave by Woodruff Park; use the park area to warm up and as a pre-race meeting point before the loop brings you back.

3. 03

   Same start and finish

   This is a loop course starting and finishing at the same W 10th and Bay Ave spot, so you return to Woodruff Park rather than needing point-to-point transport.

4. 04

   Even on short rises

   The course is reasonably flat with some smaller inclines; keep effort even and avoid surging when a short rise interrupts the flat running.

   Riverwalk and Fort Moore

   You cross the 14th Street Pedestrian Bridge onto the Riverwalk and loop inside Fort Moore, exiting at mile 17; expect a tighter path there and position early.
