Big Bad Wolf 5k + Lil' Piggy Run 1 Mile Youth Run
This event in downtown Paducah has included a 5K Run and Fitness Walk since 1995 as part of Paducah’s Barbecue on the River weekend. The 5K and the 1 mile youth run start at the Paducah Bank main branch, located at 555 Jefferson Street.
The event is noted locally for its pig trophies and race shirts. The 5K course is described as flat, and the event is professionally timed. A corporate team challenge returns this year; the team with the highest average pace receives a traveling trophy and yearlong bragging rights. Shirts are guaranteed for participants who register by 9/7.
