About the race
The Helping Hands Half Marathon / 5K takes place in Florence, Alabama, at the Renaissance Shoals Conference Center. The event offers a Half Marathon and a 5K, raising funds for the Helping Hands Foundation (Bank Independent). The race emphasizes community support through Share Drives—Shelter, Food, School, and Toy Shares—and a volunteer initiative that gives team members paid time to help locally.
Expect enthusiastic team volunteers on race day. Training resources include a 16-week run/walk plan and a 12-week plan. All proceeds support local initiatives.
A friendly, family-friendly atmosphere supports neighbors across the communities served. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
