This flat and fast course starts out true to its word with a nice long flat-to-downhill section as you start north through a residential area along Ridgeview Road. Full and half marathon runners start together but split at mile 3.5. Some gentle rolling hills start at mile 9 and the residential section continues through the first half. Shortly after you cross the highway near the midpoint of the course, you’ll join a paved trail, which you’ll follow for most of the second half. The trail sends you north on an out-and-back with a turn-around at mile 18.5. A gentle incline starts around mile 21 and continues to the end. You’ll follow the trail south to mile 25, where you’ll turn west on 151st Street, pass Olathe South High School and cross the finish line at Garmin.

This course lives up to its flat and fast reputation. The Kansas male 50+ half marathon record was set here in 2012, crushing the previous record by more than 3 minutes. The first few miles follow a flat-to-downhill section as you start north through a residential area along Ridgeview Road. Full and half marathon runners start together but split at mile 3. You will follow a tree-lined boulevard on the edge of a neighborhood for a few miles, and you’ll find a gentle hill starting at mile 5. Shortly after you cross the highway near mile 8, you’ll join a paved trail, which you’ll follow for most of the remaining course. Another gentle incline starts around mile 10 and continues to the end. You’ll follow the trail south to mile 12, where you’ll turn west on 151st Street, pass Olathe South High School and cross the finish line at Garmin.
