Half Marathon Route Description:
Start: The AGHM begins and ends at the beautiful
Angus Glen Golf Club, at 10080 Kennedy Road,
just north of Major Mackenzie.
0-3KM: Approximately the first 400
yards take participants along the winding
driveway of the golf course. The route then
heads into the community of Angus Glen,
winding along the exterior of the neighbourhood
on a very slight downhill.
4KM-6KM: Upon exiting the community,
participants start a stretch of gradual
uphill on Kennedy Road to Elgin Mills Road.
7KM-9KM: After turning east on Elgin
Mills Road, participants begin to experience
the rolling hills of north Markham. The
quick up and downs run east - west, on Elgin
Mills Road and 19th Avenue (to come). By
9KM, participants have turned north on to
McCowan Road.
10KM-12KM: When McCowan Road comes
to 19th Avenue, participants head west,
again experiencing the up and down hills.
They continue on 19th Avenue to past the
14th KM.
13KM-15KM: Halfway through this stretch
participants head south on Warden Avenue,
with a very slight, gradual downhill.
16KM-18KM: At 17KM, participants
head back east on Elgin Mills Road, back
to the rolling hills for a few more kilometers.
19KM-21.1KM: It's all downhill from
here! Once participants turn south on to
Kennedy Road, heading back in to the Angus
Glen Golf Club, they experience a nice,
gradual downhill. They take a quick turn
back on to the driveway of the club and
enjoy the final kick to the finish line.
