The Half Marathon course is a great, challenging course.
It is not flat but provides enough downhill and flat sections for runners to PR.

Route

The Half Marathon route winds its way around beautiful Mill Lake, then a steady decline out to the south side of Abbotsford. At the half way mark, the course turns at Farmer Rd where the beauty of the surrounding countryside will hopefully make you forget the rolling hills. Flat again at the top, with a great loop around the University of the Fraser Valley, a quick downhill to get the legs moving again and then homeward back to the start. This course is open to runners and walkers.
