About the Highline Half Marathon
The course circles Lake Koronis and brings real hills with it. The terrain shifts throughout, with climbs scattered across the route rather than concentrated in one place. The scenery along the lake carries you through the harder stretches. Solo runners, relay teams, and walkers are all part of the same morning, which gives the event an unhurried feel even when the racing is serious.
Packet pickup opens race morning at Highline Construction, which also serves as the start and finish. Refreshments are set out at the finish line, and the awards presentation happens there as well. Relay participants have a bus option that loops the lake to drop off team members at their exchange points.
