Tuscumbia周辺の5Kレース

The Helping Hands Half Marathon and 5K begin and end at Bank Independent's Team Campus on Reservation Road in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Participants can select either the half marathon or the 5K, accommodating both those training for longer races and those seeking a shorter community event. This race supports the Helping Hands Foundation, Bank Independent's nonprofit charity organization. The event emphasizes local service alongside race-day fundraising. The Helping Hands Program originated following a significant tornado outbreak, evolving into a 501c3 foundation that aids local organizations through Share Drives and volunteer efforts. Its drives gather pet food for shelters, non-perishable items for food banks, school supplies before the academic year starts, and new toys for children during the holidays. Bank Independent employees are granted paid volunteer time, contributing to food pantries, thrift stores, animal shelters, school functions, festivals, parks, and gardens; many also lend support and encouragement at the race.
