Course
The half starts on Linden Street with an immediate downhill, runs through Cedar Beach Park and out along Reading Road and Martin Luther King Boulevard, with a short out-and-back before entering the Lehigh Parkway. It returns through Cedar Beach Park to finish inside J. Birney Crum Stadium.
The course is closed to traffic, with aid near miles 2, 3.5, 7.5, 10 and 11.5 and gels at mile 10. It was last USATF certified in 2023 and is not currently certified because of reconstruction of Bogert's Bridge in the Lehigh Parkway. The course reopens to traffic three hours after the start.
