Clinton Historic Half Marathon

Lace up your shoes for the 10th Annual Clinton Historic Half Marathon and 5K on June 13, 2026, in Clinton, Missouri. This charming race offers both a challenging half marathon and a spirited 5K, inviting runners to experience the heart of this historic town. Starting and finishing from the scenic Clinton Square downtown, the course guides participants past significant landmarks such as the Anheuser-Busch building and Artesian Park, offering a picturesque journey through quiet residential streets, park paths, and sections of the gravel Katy Trail. While generally featuring gentle terrain, runners should prepare for a few short but steep hills that add a late-race challenge, particularly within the final mile.

Aid stations are plentiful and well-positioned throughout the course, staffed by enthusiastic volunteers ready to provide water and Gatorade to keep you hydrated and motivated. This event is more than just a race; it's a community celebration with all proceeds benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Henry County, allowing your miles to make a meaningful impact.
