LM Course Map
Construction leads to course change!
In an effort to ensure the safety of race participants, Lincoln Memorial and City of Springfield officials have agreed to a course change on the LM route due to ongoing construction on Yates Avenue.
The new route will take runners east on Calhoun Street then north on Rutledge Street to avoid the portions of Yates which are under construction.
To view the revised course, please click here to visit the USATF Running Routes page for this route.
