Helping Hands Half Marathon

The Helping Hands Half Marathon and 5K take place in Florence, Alabama, at the Renaissance Shoals Conference Center. This event offers two race distances: a half marathon and a 5K, providing options for runners of varying levels. The race supports the Helping Hands Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to community aid through initiatives like food and pet supply drives, school support, and holiday toy collections.

The foundation also encourages volunteerism among its team members. Participants can expect a community-focused atmosphere with volunteers cheering on runners. The event is sponsored by local businesses and emphasizes giving back to the Florence area through both the race and ongoing charitable efforts.
