About the VICTORY RACES - Marathon, Half, and 5K
The course runs on paved roads through a former military munitions compound that was once classified and supplied explosives during World War II. Old outposts, manufacturing buildings, and storage facilities still stand along the route, and the park has been only partly repurposed, so the industrial ruins are very much present. It is a genuinely unusual place to run a road race.
Packet pickup and race-day registration happen on site the morning of the race, before the start. Runners enter through the south gate and follow volunteers toward the main building, which also serves as the start and finish area. Parking is there as well.

VICTORY RACES - Marathon, Half, and 5K 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The VICTORY RACES - Marathon, Half, and 5K has been held every year since at least 2021. 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.
