This race is proudly hosted by the Kentucky Wesleyan College Class of 2026, with proceeds supporting two meaningful causes:
50% of all funds raised will go directly to Children's Cancer Research, helping ensure that families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food while their child battles cancer or other life-threatening illnesses.
The remaining 50% will support the Class of 2026 Senior Gift, leaving a lasting legacy on campus that benefits future students and honors our time at Wesleyan.
This event is open to runners of all levels and community members are encouraged to participate. Together, we can celebrate community, service, and the power of giving back.
Thank you for running with purpose.

These values represent the 3-year monthly averages for April in Owensboro.
Owensboro is a town on the banks of the Ohio River in Kentucky's Western Coal Fields. It bills itself as the Barbecue Capital of the World and has had some interesting figures call it home over the years, such as Beulah Annan, whose story inspired the play and movie Chicago; Florence Henderson, aka Carol Brady of The Brady Bunch; NASCAR great Darrell Waltrip ; and Johnny Depp. On a darker note, it was also the site of the last public hanging in the United States, the subject being an African American, in 1936.
