• Description: he race starts out on Batesville's Main Street, and the runners immediately begin with a gentle upslope. After cresting this introductory ascent, runners are rewarded with the race's most significant downhill section, which includes the turn from Main onto St Louis St. The descent ends just before the 1 mile marker. It is not uncommon for runners to be under their typical 5K pace at this point in the race due to the downhill nature of the opening mile.
  
  The second mile spans St Louis and Barnett streets before finishing on White Dr. In this second mile, the runners will encounter rolling terrain starting uphill, then coasting back down until climbing back up to the two mile marker. Overall, competitors will face more up than down in this mile.
  
  Mile 3 continues on White Dr before making a left turn onto Heights Street. After an uphill first half, Mile 3 repays the runners with the second significant downhill section of the race.
  
  This downhill trends continues into the 4th Mile and onto Bayou Street. Racers will need to have kept something in reserve, however, as the course then climbs up an overpass before turning back onto Main Street for a final climatic, uphill push which levels off just before the finish line.
