The course runs along the Corpus Christi bayfront from the Cole Park Pier area.

Participants will find music, vendors, and age-group awards. Packet pickup is available on-site before the races.

Victory Races hosts a marathon, half marathon, and 5K within Vermillion Rise Mega Park, a former secret military munitions compound in Vermillion County. The marathon and half marathon courses are flat, traffic-free, and USATF-certified, making them suitable for runners aiming for national qualifying standards or a Boston Marathon qualifier. The 5K offers a shorter option to run through the same distinctive location. The route crosses grounds once used for supplying explosives during World War II and storing military weapons through the early and mid-1900s. The site now supports local industry, with remnants of military ruins and old manufacturing facilities still visible on the property. The race acknowledges this history through military-themed shirts, unique bib numbers, and custom finisher medals, while providing discounts for veterans and students from Vermillion and Parke counties. Proceeds benefit the Vermillion Trails Alliance, dedicated to expanding trail and recreation options in Vermillion County.
