Proceeds will benefit Tucker’s Treehouse. Our program is a free service to the community designed to meet the grieving needs of all children and teens within the tri-state. Our goal is to not only serve those suffering with grief from the death of a loved one, but also those wrestling with what we call a "living loss" which would include children whose parent(s) are incarcerated or in an active addiction and not present in their life. At Tucker's Treehouse, our focus is on catering to children and youth between the ages of 6 and 18. Additionally, we aim to offer resources and educational support to parents and caregivers involved in nurturing the children who participate in Tucker's Treehouse.

    Come join the fun! This is the 4th Run for Foxy Roxie 5k. It's a memorial race for Roxanne Pickrell ("Foxy Roxie"), the late daughter of Jason and Cathy Pickrell. Roxie passed in 2019, at age 13, after a brief battle with brain cancer. This race is a way to honor her memory and give back to our community through her non-profit, the Roxanne Pickrell Memorial Fund. Our mission is to #supportacause. We fundraise to donate to our LOCAL non-profits! It's a fun event with cool t-shirts and awards! This year we will be in a new location. It will start and finish in Downtown Owensboro at Smother's Park Overlook Stage. A part of the race will take you down Frederica Street. We have also added a 1 mile race and a Kid's Dash!

    Proceeds from this year's 5k will support the Owensboro Fire Department, Hose Handlers in the upcoming Puzzle Pieces Lip Sync Battle.

    My Story:

    Madison and James Wells, tragically lost their infant daughter, Ruth, in June 2024 at just seven months old due to congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common but often overlooked virus that can have devastating effects on newborns. Despite a lengthy and courageous battle, her sweet girl passed away, leaving behind a legacy of strength, love, and resilience.

    In her daughter’s memory, Madison ran the 2025 New York City Marathon as a charity runner for the National CMV Foundation. As part of this incredible journey, we are again organizing a Memorial 5K Run/Walk on June 20, 2026, in Owensboro, Kentucky in partnership with Strides 4 CMV during CMV awareness month, to raise awareness and critical funds to support CMV research, education, and prevention efforts.

    Madison completed her marathon last year in 5:29:26 with a average pace of 12:34.
