About the Honoring Our Heroes Marathon

The paved point-to-point route travels from Salem to Rolla on rolling Ozark roads. Frequent elevation changes make effort-based pacing important, especially when the marathon field thins.

Mid-November is often cool, but Missouri weather can shift between sun, rain, wind, and a near-freezing start. Exposed roads can feel colder than town streets.
