About the Mission Run in the Ozarks 5K, Half, and Full Marathon
The course runs point-to-point through the streets and highways around Mountain View, starting at a church outside town and finishing at the Stone County Court Square in the center of it. The hills are real, not decorative, and the terrain earns the word challenging. Spectators can post up along the route and at the finish.
Parking is at the starting church, and shuttles bring runners back after the race. Packet pickup opens early on race morning at the same church. Restrooms are available at the Court Square finish.

The Mission Run in the Ozarks 5K, Half, and Full Marathon has been held every year since at least 2015. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
