Run For Foxy Roxie
Run For Foxy Roxie is a community 5K run/walk in downtown Owensboro, Kentucky. It begins at 8:00 a.m. CDT from Smother's Park Overlook Stage. This is the race's fourth year, held in memory of Roxanne Pickrell, known as Foxy Roxie, who passed away from brain cancer. In addition to the 5K, there is a 1-mile walk and a Kids Dash, allowing families, walkers, and young children to participate. The course begins and ends at the riverfront stage. Part of the route follows Frederica Street. The race benefits the Roxanne Pickrell Memorial Fund, which collects donations for local nonprofits under the mission #supportacause. Proceeds from the 5K go to the Owensboro Fire Department Hose Handlers. The event also provides T-shirts and awards.
