The Half-Marathon begins at Howard Wood Field. Runners pass Covell Lake and St. Joseph's Cathedral, through Downtown Sioux Falls and into the Warehouse Historic District. At approximately the 4-mile mark, the runners enter the beautifully sites, as well as the city's namesake, the Big Sioux River. At Falls Park, runners connect with the city's wide, smooth, paved bike trail that is part of the Greenway. Tracing the shaded banks of the Big Sioux River, the trail bends around the city and takes the runners to the finish at Sertoma Park.
