The Heroes of America Marathon is run in Columbus, Georgia, on Saturday, March 20, 2027, with a half marathon and a 5K on the same morning. The start and finish are on Broadway behind the Columbus Marriott. The course heads south onto the Columbus River Walk, and the marathon continues inside Fort Benning, looping through the base from mile 8.25 to mile 17.75 before returning to the Marriott. The organizer describes the course as reasonably flat with some smaller inclines. The marathon and half marathon start at 8:00 am and the 5K follows at 8:10 am. The marathon course closes at 3:00 pm. Finishers receive a race t-shirt and a finisher's medal, and age-group awards are given. The marathon does not allow hand-crank participants because of the width of the River Walk. Packet pickup is at the Columbus Marriott on Friday, March 19, and on race morning from 6:00 am. The event is organized by OnPoint1-1 and offers separate military and civilian registration, including a military-only Ranger Challenge relay marathon. The 2026 edition ran on March 21, 2026.
