Designed to honor the service of veterans in Iraq and Afghanistan and support those recovering from combat injuries in both conflicts, the race starts at 8:00 AM with a run around the neighborhoods around Hillwood Baptist Church for the first three miles of the race.
The remainder of the race takes runners along Huntsville’s Chicamauga Trail Southeast and through a number of twists and turns down to the intersection with Green Cove Road, where the race course winds its way to the Aldridge Creek Greenway.
After the two-mile stretch along the greenway path, runners then head back in reverse along the course they’ve just run, crossing Green Cove Road to Chaney Thompson Road and then onto Wynterhall Road, all the way back to the finish at the church.
There is a 3-hour time limit for runners in the half marathon, which is limited to the first 1,000 entrants.
