The race begins at the Valdese Community Center and heads down Laurel Road. The 5-K race makes its halfway turn on Laurel while the 10-K continues on down Lovelady Road and along the entrance to the Wastewater Treatment Plant before making its return up a fairly steep incline. The Great Waldensian Footrace regularly has a good turnout and, despite the August humidity, is well enjoyed.
