Athlete Tracking

We’ve partnered with RUNFARUSA to provide an amazing free service to our participants.

By downloading the RUNFARUSA app, spectators can easily search for a runner by name or bib number to track progress throughout the race. The app also includes a course map that shows exactly where a runner is at any given time, making it simple to follow along and cheer them on at the right moment.

Best Spots to Watch

There are several great spots along the course to watch the race and support participants. The excitement begins at the start line on W. Main and Sixth Streets at 8 a.m., where runners head east on Main Street. Other prime viewing locations include Lynn Family Stadium on Adams Street, Fante’s Coffee on Etley Avenue and Cherokee Park along the Scenic Loop. The race concludes at the finish line on Fourth Street between Market and Jefferson Streets, where the energy and celebration reach their peak.

Urban Bourbon Bash Wristbands

After the race, everyone is invited to the Urban Bourbon Bash at Fourth Street Live! The event is open to the public and free for all ages to enter, but only those 21 and older can enjoy the bourbon, beer, and food tastings. Wristbands with tasting tabs are available for $30, payable by cash or credit card, at the north entrance on race morning. Participants also have the option to pre-purchase wristbands for family or friends, though each wristband must be picked up in person by the individual using it to verify age.
