The race starts in front of the Batesville High School. After 100 meters, the race turns left to pass the Sara Low Memorial at the Junior High School. The course then plunges down a short, steep hill immediately followed by an equally short and steep uphill. After finishing this climb, the course turns right onto Timberline Dr. Runners will head east for a half mile on Timberline, facing gradual uphill and flat sections. The gradual, rolling hill continue as the route makes a left turn onto Moss St followed by another left where runners will get to coast downhill to the first mile marker.
The second mile continues this downward trend with several brief flat or small rises added to the mix.
After passing the second mile marker, runners will complete an out-and-back section on Chaney Rd. From the turnaround cone, runner will climb an increasingly steep hill for nearly 2/3rds of a mile. The apex brings the course back to the Batesville High School campus where the 3rd mile marker is reached just before a short downhill onto the school's track. The final tenth of a mile on the track takes runners to the finish near the 50 yard line.
