For the kids' dash, children get a mini bib, youth-sized shirt, and child-specific medal. Children can also run the dash without charge if they forgo the swag. Awards, free race photos, finish-line treats, and a virtual race option are also provided.

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. This road half marathon directly supports Honor Flight Tri State, with race proceeds assisting local veterans of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam in their travel to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorials. The event also offers 10K and 5K run/walk options, catering to half marathoners, walkers, shorter-distance runners, and families supporting the cause. The initial mile circles the mall before the course proceeds along the west side of Florence Square and north on Houston Road. 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.

Racing for Sustainability is a US-based running initiative for people who want races to create less waste. It focuses on the environmental footprint of running events, from local 5Ks to major marathons, and highlights the everyday litter runners encounter on course: discarded cups, gel packets, plastic bottles, food packaging, and unworn race shirts. Participants can sign up as Racing for Sustainability Champions, though the role is not limited to those entering a specific race. Some Champions run with charity bibs, while others support the initiative by wearing Racing for Sustainability apparel on a neighborhood run or at a local event, using it to start conversations about eco-friendly racing habits.
