3rd Annual Kentucky Run For The Fallen
The 3rd Annual Kentucky Run For The Fallen is happening on Saturday, September 18th, and Sunday, September 19th, 2021. It's a chance to pay tribute to our Kentucky fallen men and women of the military. Local runners and others from all over the country will run this weekend. The opening ceremony will get underway at 6:30 on Saturday morning at the Shelton Memorial in Downtown Owensboro. These hero runners will start around 7 AM and they'll be in Downtown Greenville at the courthouse by 6 PM. On day two at around 6:30 AM they will continue on to Kentucky Veterans Cemetery in Hopkinsville. They will arrive right around 3:00 PM. Let's cheer them on along the route which is detailed below! #chills
Something else pretty special will happen during the weekend as well. Something amazing with my friend Chris Conley. He has carried the army men and women pictured below for every run for the last 2 years. That's over 1000 miles of running. Now, he'll give them back to the families. I'm so proud of him and all that participate in this beautiful run to honor our heroes and Gold Star Families.
"Pictured is 252 Kentucky Fallen Heroes. This weekend every name will be said during the two-day 110 mile Kentucky Run For The Fallen relay. As one of the runners, I can’t wait to get rolling. There are no words that can describe the feeling you get from a Gold Star Family hug. It’s beyond compare."
"This year I’m sending these Warriors back home to their mommas. I’ve run over 1000 miles the past couple of years with most of our states' Fallen Heroes in my ultra vest. This mission is complete, it was the ultimate honor to have them with me every stride. These Warriors need to go home and be with their families. A Hero dies twice…. Once at their death and again when no one ever says their name again.", Christopher Conley
