Riverside Ave/Browne’s Addition
Wearing a sweat shirt to stay warm before the race? Donate it to charity by tossing it into a nearby tree, a longstanding race tradition. Mile 1 launches runners and walkers down Riverside Avenue and through the historic Browne’s Addition neighborhood. Patience is a virtue in this stretch: The most congested portion of the course comes in the first half mile.
