54th Annual Honor America Days 5K Parade Run

Saturday July 25, 2026

The Honor America Days 5k Parade Run is the oldest road race in Oneida County. Honor America Day Race(HAD) has gone through course and name changes since it's start in 1970.  Most importantly , the race was consistently held in conjunction with Rome summer community celebrations. Today the race precedes Rome’s Honor America Days parade and follows the parade route. We have runners from age 8 to 80 who participate in this family-friendly event. The HAD 5k Parade Run is always held in July.
