Run for the Hungry

Run for the Hungry

Join us at beautiful Mahr Park, Madisonville, for a 5k run/walk and kids 1/4 mile fun run on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 27th, 2025 and raise much needed funds for the Christian Food Bank of Hopkins County. Kids run starts at 8am, 5k run/walk starts at 8:15am Strollers and well-behaved LEASHED dogs are welcome. We ask that you start behind the runners. (Please clean up after your dog!) While there is no official cut-off time for this event, please note that we will begin dismantling the course at 9:45 AM to allow our volunteers to return home and celebrate Thanksgiving with their families. This does not mean you need to end your run or walk early—feel free to finish at your own pace! Award ceremony will be held at 9:15 am. Prizes will be awarded to: First Male/Female Overall 5k, First Male/Female Over-40 5k, First Male/Female Under-18 5k, First Dog 5k First Male/Female 6 and under - Kids Run, First Male/Female 7-9yrs - Kids Run, First Male/Female 10-12yrs- Kids Run, In the event that an overall winner also wins their age group, they will not receive two prizes, the next runner to finish in that category will receive the prize. In order to give as much money as possible to the food bank, we are choosing to pass the processing fees on to our participants. ($2.20 per 5k runner.) The more people you sign up at one time, the lower the overall processing fees, so get the whole family out and start a new Thanksgiving tradition!
