The Course

While running the 13.1 miles of the Amica Insurance Half Marathon, you will see a mixture of the old and the new in Charlotte. From the start in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, you will quickly transition away from the downtown area on Randolph and Providence Roads.

You will be heading back to Uptown after touring the oak-lined Foxcroft community near Sharon Road and Arbor Way.  As you near the Uptown area, you will pass through historic Myers Park, where you will see Queens Road meet Queens Road (West). Then it's on to the finish line near the corner of Morehead and Caldwell Street.
