Now that the weather has cooled off, a 5K, no matter if you decide to run in or walk it, will be a little bit more tolerable. The Junior League of Owensboro will hold its 3rd Annual "Healthy Owensboro 5K Run/Walk" Saturday, September 20.

The race will start and end at the RiverPark Center at 8:00am. Race day registration is from 7:00am-7:30am. The race is chip timed by the Owensboro Runners and Walkers Club. All participants are invited to stay for the awards ceremony, to be held at the finish line, where awards for both runners and walkers will be presented, as well as door prizes, which include baskets from Nona's Downtown Market, Cecil Farms, and Pure Barre. Other prizes will be provided by In the Groove, RiverPark Center, and more!

Participants are encouraged to walk or run as a family, so strollers are welcome! You can push your infant or toddler through the race if you wish. This is a great way to encourage your family and show support for the Junior League of Owensboro families, and show support for the Junior League's signature project of "Healthy Owensboro", which emphasizes healthy living and exercise.

Proceeds will benefit The Junior League of Owensboro charities.
