The tag-timed course will start in front the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and finish on the campus of St. John's Hospital. Runners will start the race heading south on Sixth Street, pass the Old State Capitol, then veer over to the Lincoln Home site, head back downtown and towards the State Capitol, wind their way to Washington Park, loop through the park and exit on Lincoln Avenue.

After heading north for more than a mile on Lincoln, runners will head back to the east and over to the Oak Ridge cemetery, where they will pass the Lincoln Tomb. For Abe's Amble veterans, there will some familiar terrain as the course loops through Lincoln Park before heading south to St. John's.
