Honor run supports a great cause, it raised $45k for honor flights for veterans.
I ran the race in memory of my wife’s grandfather who was a WWII vet and she ran in honor of her uncles who were Vietnam vets.
Morning started with the reading of Johnny Cash’s Ragged Old Flag, followed by National Anthem, and Taps.
It was very cold 30 degrees at the start and snowed the day before. The mall was open to get out of the cold before the race
Course ran through town and all roads were closed. Scenery was average.
Though it was hilly, it was not as bad as I expected from everything I had read.
Aid stations were plentiful and had water and Gatorade.
Post race had Jersey Mike sandwiches, chili dogs, bananas, water, chips, granola bars, and my favorite chocolate milk! Also had coffee truck and massage tables.
Packet pick up was at Florence mall, no expo.
Swag was a very nice medal with a Korean War soldiers on back. Shirt was long sleeve neon dri-fit.
I would definitely recommend this race.

This race supports our veterans. The medal and shirt are top notch. The course is a little challenging. Several rolling hills towards the end, nothing major. The finish area has lots of food and drinks. Sells out every year. Sign up early. See you next year.

The race is for a great cause! Lots of red, white & blue and people proudly carrying the flag. The course had rolling hills throughout, with the steepest one near the end. Water stops (no gatorade) every 2ish miles. Very few spectators, which is understandable because it was so cold! There is literally nothing to see on the course except chain restaurants and stores. Organizers were good at communicating, but unfortunately they weren’t able to get the medals in time. (We will still be able to pick them up when they do arrive.) Not a big deal to me. The skyline at the end hit the spot!
