Get Ready To Run This July In Rome

The Honor America Days 5k Parade Run is the oldest in Oneida County. It's all happening on Saturday, July 26th.

Honor America Day Race(HAD) has gone through course and name changes of its start in 1970.  Most importantly, the race was consistently held in conjunction with Rome summer community celebrations.

This year the race precedes Rome’s Honor America Days parade and follows the parade route. The event has runners from age 8 to 80 who participate in this family-friendly event. You can find out costs online and register as well. Last year the events were all moved to September due to the tornado in Rome.
