USCB's course, which starts and finishes on the Hardeeville school campus on Red Dam Road and loops around a large pond on the adjacent Cooler property, is a flat, fast, and spectator-friendly track. The women's course makes two loops and the men's course makes three loops, meaning fans can catch a glimpse of the runners several times without doing much running themselves. The race-time forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-50s, clear skies, and breezy conditions.
