This year’s course is fairly flat, with the steepest parts being the climb to the top of the Big Four Bridge and back down. The Greenway will take Marathon runners through New Albany, Jeffersonville, and Clarksville, all the while offering stunning views of the Ohio River, the iconic bridges that link Louisville and Southern Indiana, and the downtown Louisville Skyline. At the split, Marathon participants will continue on to cross the Big Four Bridge and continue along the Ohio River Greenway in Souther n Indiana. Then all runners will return to downtown and Slugger Field, where the miniMarathon runners will turn down the final stretch and Marathon runners will continue on to the back-half of their race. The miniMarathon and front half of the Marathon will return to a more traditional route through downtown, into the West End, through Old Louisville and the South End, where once again runners will have the opportunity to enjoy the iconic run through Churchill Downs. The course will be looped (starting and finishing within the same few blocks), beginning in downtown Louisville at the intersection of Main Street and Preston Street and ending at Lynn Family Stadium (home of Louisville City FC and Racing Louisville FC) for the Finish Line celebration.
