The race starts and finishes at the Randolph Intergenerational Community Center (RICC) parking lot. After the parking lot, the course turns right to Pleasant Street and warms up legs with a fun uphill. It will turn right onto N. Main Street, bear right onto Orchard Street, right onto Bartlett Road, left onto Tangen Street (this is the only left turn on the course!), and right onto Oak Street. After the Oak Street water stop, another right to Pine Avenue, then a right to Truman Drive. The end of Truman Drive features another fun hill before turning right onto North Street, and then another right onto Pleasant Street, where those tired legs are rewarded with a gentle downhill to the finish.
