About the Veterans Half Marathon
The Veterans Marathon is in its 18th running in Columbia City and is now hosted by Race Beyond Limits, which continues the tradition of the Bird family. This year's race honors the Army, and part of the profits goes to local veterans' charities.
After the finish, runners get hot soup and other food, and the top two in each age group receive awards.
