Traditionally held on the last Saturday in March to mark the kick-off of Child Abuse Prevention Month, the German American Bank Run & Walk for Children, hosted by Family Enrichment Center, features a half marathon, 5k run, and 5k fun walk. The Friday evening before the race, participants and families are invited to join us for a festive Family Expo and Pasta Party during packet pick-up, followed by our free kids’ one-mile Glow Run. This year marks the event’s 30th Anniversary, and we’re celebrating in style by throwin’ it back to the 90s with all your favorite songs, movies, and of course, the iconic green SLIME!

    Danny Carothers was an outstanding leader in our community. He lead quietly behind the scenes encouraging our better angels to love one another and help each other up. Conquer the Hill is a 5K Run/Walk to honor Danny's leadership, bring us together to meet the needs of neighbors in our community and to move each other forward. If you knew Danny, you know how his life and love impacted you. Danny always told us, "we can do this together"!

    As the runners and walkers conquer historic Hospital Hill in Downtown Bowling Green KY, we won't just be running a race we'll be providing a hand up to our neighbors. We'll be adding to the Danny Carothers Housing Endowment through the Community Foundation of South Central Kentucky to benefit the housing programs of House on the Hill. Danny saw the need to help others conquer their hills, to get over and reach the other side. On April 18, 2026, we'll come together to help our neighbors conquer housing costs and become more of the people Danny knew we could be. His leadership and love impacts us all! We carry it with us into our future.

    The Good Fight 5k Run/Walk is a race that will be held on April 18, 2026 at Kereiakes Park in Bowling Green, KY.

    The event is held in memory of Vernon Long, who was an avid runner who passed from cancer in October 2021.
