The St. Elizabeth Healthcare Honor Run Half Marathon is coming back to Florence this weekend.
The race will start at 7 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15. The city of Florence released a list of road closures. They center around Hopeful Church Road, Cayton Road, Mall Road and Houston Road. A map of this year’s race route gives a general idea to drivers of where they should avoid. Road closures will last from 6:30 a.m. to around 11 a.m.
The Honor Run was established in 2014 and collects money for Honor Flight Tri-State, an organization that sponsors flights for local veterans to travel to Washington, D.C., to see veteran memorials.
Many veterans never get the opportunity to view the D.C. memorials created in honor of their service, according to Honor Flight Tri-State. So far, the St. Elizabeth Healthcare Honor Run has raised and donated $430k to the cause.
