The Urban Cow Half Marathon is run on a loop course. The course is fast and flat throughout the race, although runners will encounter several gentle hills (which rise about 20-25 feet in height). The start of the half marathon will be in two waves: the first is for those who expect to finish the race in less than 2 hours, the second is for those whose finish time will be more than 2 hours.
