Kentucky Wesleyan Senior Committee Charity 5K

Lace up for a cause at the Kentucky Wesleyan Senior Committee Charity 5K, set to take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in Owensboro, KY. This uplifting 5K run/walk, hosted by the Kentucky Wesleyan College Class of 2026, offers runners and walkers of all levels a chance to engage in community spirit while supporting two vital causes. The race kicks off from the Kentucky Wesleyan College campus at 3300 Frederica Street, providing a scenic start for participants.

What makes this event truly special is its dual charitable focus: 50% of all proceeds are dedicated to Children's Cancer Research, helping alleviate the financial burden on families by assisting with treatment, travel, housing, and food costs. The remaining 50% contributes to the Class of 2026 Senior Gift, leaving a lasting legacy for future students on campus. Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 66°F and lows near 42°F, alongside an 18% chance of precipitation, making for potentially ideal running weather.

While specific course details regarding terrain and elevation are not extensively publicized, runners can expect a route that likely winds through the college campus and surrounding Owensboro area, offering a pleasant backdrop for their efforts. This event prioritizes community and charity, inviting everyone from seasoned athletes to casual walkers to join in celebrating service and giving back. Your participation in this 5K not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but also directly contributes to meaningful causes, making every stride a step towards hope and a lasting impact.
