Course
Our ten mile course is flat and fast – yes, really! The big Austin hills that some people have trouble with are not in our part of town. Wide and fully closed roads will prevail on the USATF certified course. No running in tight packs right next to traffic at the Austin 10/20! Stages every half mile, eight well stocked water stations, 10 cheerleader teams and premium medical support will be on course. Mile markers and time clocks at every mile with 5K signs too. Porta-potties will be plentiful and visible and excellent SAG support will be provided. Overall event operations will be professional and precise.

Start/Finish Area
The Start and Finish lines are located in two separate “village” areas on Alterra Pkwy near Esperanza at The Domain in North Austin. The expansive and open spaces here will accommodate the big crowds at the Start and at the post race party and concert. The Start and Finish lines are about 1/4 mile apart. Detailed diagrams are posted above.
Party
The Start will be organized and tight, the finish line will be a party! After the elite athletes blaze to the finish tape and the rest follow up, our headliner act will hit the main stage. Runners and spectators will be rocking out to the headliner concert at approximately 10:45 AM. For more information on the 2012 Headliner, Everclear, or on our 2012 course bands please click on the side button labeled ”Our Bands.”
The finish area will feature a spacious group reunion area and Miller64 beer garden – Texas style! All participants are welcome here and spectators can partake too. With perfect views of the main stage and great refreshments to boot, it’s just the way to wrap up the Austin 10/20 day.
