A moment of silence for the victims of 9/11 started the annual half-marathon from Troy to Piqua.
The memorial service, which also honored local first responders and veterans, was conducted at the starting point outside the Miami County courthouse in Troy by a group running in the race called Team Red, White and Blue out of Tipp City.
As runners completed the race, they were cheered on by firefighters, EMTs, law enforcement and military personnel.
