The tradition of the Veterans Marathon continues; a superb event honoring our nation’s Veterans.
Located in the heart of northeast Indiana, Columbia City is a small-town community with true Hoosier values. It’s a community rooted in its agricultural heritage, strengthened by its commercial and residential development, and proud of its hometown heroes.
In honor of those servicemen and servicewomen throughout the nation, We present the 13th Annual Veterans Marathon, Half-Marathon and Heroes 5K on November 13th, 2021. We can promise that flags will be waving at the start, a gently rolling countryside course, and a race experience you will always remember.
Come experience the challenge and excitement of running the Marathon, Half-Marathon or 5K and do so in honor of America’s veterans and heroes. You’ll be glad you did.
