Since 1994, United Way 5K Run and Fitness Walk has been a part of Paducah's BBQ on the River. More than 500 runners and walkers come from across the U.S. to participate in the race where we utilize a chip timing system to produce accurate results. This is a wonderful event that promotes health, fitness and a fun time for everyone; serious runners, kids, corporate teams, entire families or community groups can join in. Since 2001, the race has also offered a 1-mile Youth Run to children ages 12 and under.
The United Way 5K will be Saturday, September 28, 2013. Registration will be open in late July.
