Honoring Our Heroes Marathon

The Honoring Our Heroes Marathon, held in Salem and Rolla, Missouri, is a Boston-qualifying event featuring a full marathon, half marathon, marathon relay, 10K, and 5K races, along with virtual options. This charity-focused race honors military veterans and active service members, offering a 50% registration discount for veterans, active military, spouses, and dependents. The course is challenging, set in beautiful, hilly rural terrain, mostly paved.

A unique feature is the HEROES RUCK division, allowing participants to compete carrying weighted rucksacks in all distances.
