The Honor Run Half Marathon begins and ends at Florence Mall in Florence, Kentucky, starting at 7:00 AM on the weekend closest to Veterans Day annually.

The event also offers 10K and 5K run/walk options, catering to half marathoners, walkers, shorter-distance runners, and families supporting the cause.

Participants will pass the City of Florence Golf Course, local businesses, Turfway Park, and Turfway Road, where aircraft might be landing or taking off at the adjacent Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. The latter half follows Aero Parkway, turns back, and then heads toward the mall finish via Ted Bushelman Boulevard. The race originated as a practical fundraiser, contributing approximately $430,000 over its first ten years, which helped send around 800 local veterans to Washington, D.C.
