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.

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.
