The Odyssey Mill Mountain Trail Half Marathon will be a scenic, but challenging trail running race which will start and finish at the Roanoke GO Outside Festival on Sunday, October 19, 2014. The race route will wind up, down, and round Mill Mountain offering panoramic views of the Roanoke Valley and surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. The reds, oranges, and yellows of the fall foliage will have your eyes wanting more. See the famous Mill Mountain Star not once, but twice on the 4000′ of elevation change to the finish will have your legs saying “Please Stop!” This challenge will be full of memories in more ways then one!
