The race course for the Half Marathon will take runners on a tour of Radford that includes Main Street, Radford University's campus, and the surrounding neighborhoods. As runners head back to town, they will continue on their tour through Wildwood park and end at Bisset park.

The race course for the 5K will begin at the Dedmon Center. Runners will jump on the Bisset Park trail right by the dog park and follow it the whole way down the river. This race provides a scenic and family friendly race for everyone to enjoy. The 5K will also end at the Rolling on the River food truck rodeo in Bisset Park.

The race course, start/finish line and all festivities will be staffed by our student athletes, athletics staff, and university and community volunteers. All runners will enjoy a spectacular finish line celebration with the Rolling on the River Food Truck Rodeo. Come join us for a day of fun!
