The St. Elizabeth Healthcare Honor Run Half Marathon, Honor Run 2 Person Relay, Nature Nate’s Honor Run Half Marathon 5K and Honor Run Kids One Mile will be held on Veteran’s Day weekend Sunday. The Honor Run Half Marathon and the Honor Run 2 Person Relay begins at 7:00am. The Nature Nate’s Honor Run Half Marathon 5K will start at 7:30am and the Honor Run Kids One Mile will start at 10:45am. All events start and finish under the Florence Y’All water tower at Florence Mall!
The course is a rolling 13.1 mile course throughout the city of Florence and parts of unincorporated Boone County that starts and finishes under the iconic Florence Y’All water tower. The scenic course includes the following landmarks: Florence Mall, The Mall Road Business District, The Houston Road Business District and the Turfway Park Race Course.
Proceeds from all St. Elizabeth Healthcare Honor Run Half Marathon events will benefit Honor Flight Tri-State by helping send our local veterans who have served our nation in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to Washington DC to visit their memorials and to Habitat For Humanity of Cincinnati to help support a local veteran home repair. Over the past 4 years we have donated a total of $163,000 to help our local veterans.
All race participants will receive a race t-shirt, a custom finisher’s medal, and post race food and drinks. Spend Veteran’s Day weekend with us at Northern Kentucky’s premiere running event and help us honor those who have served by running in the Honor Run!

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!
