About the Veterans Marathon
The Columbia City event pairs a marathon and half marathon while honoring military veterans. Its local scale, inexpensive logistics, and volunteer attention appeal to runners who do not need a big-city production.
Course
The certified paved route leaves town for open Whitley County roads. Gentle rollers accumulate, and sparse spectators in the rural miles make self-directed pacing and fueling important.
Race-day weather
Mid-November is often cool enough for strong racing, but freezing wind, rain, or late warmth are all possible. Open farm roads provide little shelter.
