Carry the Fallen Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, warming through the race
A cool 46°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temperatures rising to 59°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The Carry the Fallen Half Marathon takes place on Active Heroes' 140-plus-acre retreat property in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, the Saturday before Veterans Day. The 13.1-mile course runs entirely on the organization's own land, a hybrid of wooded trails and gravel roads with no public street closures. Registration includes a tech shirt and a commemorative dog tag, and proceeds support Active Heroes' veteran and military-family programs at the same retreat center.
