Run for the Hungry - Madisonville
Run for the Hungry is a community running event at Mahr Park in Madisonville, Kentucky, held on November 26, 2026. The event supports the Christian Food Bank of Hopkins County and includes in-person and virtual options.
The event features the following distances:
- 5K in-person race
- 5K virtual race
- 0.25 mile kids fun run for ages 12 and under
Registration fees listed for the event include different amounts by category, and organizers pass processing fees on to participants; a processing fee of $2.20 applies per 5K runner. Middle and high school cross-country and track teams are eligible for a 10% discount. Packet pick-up, race-day setup and tear-down, road crossing assistance, and other volunteer roles are organized; groups of five or more receive some sponsor benefits such as their name on race shirts. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Strollers and well-behaved leashed dogs are permitted; dog owners are asked to clean up after their animals. An awards ceremony takes place and prizes are designated for several categories, including overall and age-group placements for the 5K, stroller and dog categories, and top finishers in the kids run. If an overall winner also wins an age group, the age-group prize will go to the next eligible finisher. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
