Dart for Head Start 5K Run & Walk

Join the Ohio Valley Educational Foundation (OVEF) for its 3rd Annual Dart for Head Start 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk, a fun, family-friendly event for a great cause! We’re excited to be back and aiming for bigger and better than ever as we lace up our sneakers at Tom Sawyer Park on June 6, 2026.

Participants can choose between a 5K run or an 1 mile walk, both taking place the same morning. This event is perfect for runners, walkers, families, and supporters of all ages. In addition to the race, we’ll have a DJ, yard games for kids and a playground nearby, making it a great outing for the whole family.

*** Please note this is a FUN RUN COMMUNITY EVENT! It is a chip-free event; we rely on personal recording at the finish line for unofficial times, but we will have a large timing clock displayed. ***

Check-in begins at 8:00 AM, with races starting promptly at 9:00 AM.

Best of all, 100% of the proceeds go directly to support the OVEC Head Start program, helping children and families in our community get the strong start they deserve. Come out, have fun, and make a difference, every step truly matters!

Head Start is a comprehensive early childhood education program that supports young children and their families by promoting school readiness, healthy development, and family well-being. Through education, health services, and family support, OVEC Head Start helps children build a strong foundation for lifelong success.

A Kentucky Tradition Since 1974

The Old Kentucky Home Bicycle Tour was founded in 1974 by Stewart Prather and fellow Louisville Bicycle Club members. Originally routed to Bardstown, Kentucky, the event now tours the beautiful roads of Oldham County.

While the start and finish locations have evolved, the mission remains the same — to celebrate the backroads of our Old Kentucky Home. In honor of Stewart, we proudly keep the name OKHT.

This event takes place rain or shine.

Register today and experience one of Kentucky’s longest-running and most beloved cycling traditions.
