The 10.2 mile course is on a lightly traveled road with smooth to semi-rough pavement. The route rolls uphill from the start gaining less than one hundred feet. This is followed by a short, rapid dip and back up before the flattest downward stretch heading towards the final uphill finishing kick. The road is not closed to traffic but typically is very lightly travelled at this time. Cross roads will be marshalled.

Short Cut Between Start and Finish: The Start and Finish are separated by only one mile. There is a relatively well protected bike lane on U.S. 50 (Ohio River Scenic Byway/Three Rivers Parkway). Alternately, there is a route using surface streets, but Miami Avenue has a short, very steep hill. Take care when crossing U.S. 50.
