Event Description

This is the second year for the Tell City Half Marathon and 5k race. The first 3 miles, shared by both races, is fairly flat and will take you along the Ohio River, within the Tell City downtown area, and along the cities residential streets. As the half marathon route leaves the downtown area the route will roll for a mile before challenging you with a 200 foot elevation climb in 1.5 miles. It then rolls along county and state roads before heading back into town. Back in town you will be on residential streets and the Windy Creek Greenway as you head towards the downtown finish line.
