It's Okay if you're NOT Okay 5K presented by Tucker’s Treehouse

Lace up your shoes for a cause that truly makes a difference at the "It's Okay if you're NOT Okay" 5K presented by Tucker’s Treehouse, taking place on September 19, 2026, in Owensboro, KY. This inaugural 5K run/walk offers a unique opportunity to support grieving children and teens in the community, providing a nurturing haven for those experiencing loss due to bereavement, parental incarceration, or addiction. The event is a chip-timed race on a fast and flat course, ensuring a "speedy, level path to victory" for all participants, whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying a supportive walk.

The course itself starts and finishes directly at Tucker's Treehouse, located at 3419 Wathen's Crossing in Owensboro. While you challenge yourself, you'll be treated to an energetic atmosphere with music from Scarlett Call Music and Dr Popper Entertainment at the start and finish lines. As you cross the finish line, you'll be rewarded with a swag bag (with the first 100 registrations receiving a tumbler), a commemorative T-shirt (guaranteed if you register by September 1st), and a well-deserved finisher's medal. Awards will also be presented to the top three male and female finishers across various age groups.
