The course starts at a Fleet Feet store near Southpoint and heads out to the American Tobacco Trail, then turns around and comes back. It is a flat, paved trail run through a well-known greenway corridor, open to all paces.
Runners pick up their Santa suits at one of several Fleet Feet locations on the days leading up to the race, with options across Durham and the surrounding area. Race-morning logistics are based out of the Southpoint store.
