This will be the 2019 Course:
After reviewing the adjustments made to the roads, we feel it offers our athletes a better course, much more scenic with the same basic road profile. If there is any construction on the course between now and race day, we will revert back to the 2015 course. As of now, we don’t foresee a change.
