About the Honoring Our Heroes Marathon

The event pairs a marathon and half marathon with a remembrance-focused community program. Its compact field and local volunteers give the Salem-to-Rolla journey a personal feel.

Course

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.

Race-day weather

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.
