Family Enrichment Center's 24th Annual Run & Walk for Children
2020-03-28 08:00 - 11:00 UTC | Ephram White Park, 885 Mt Olivet Rd, Bowling Green, KY, 42101, United States
UPDATE!!!!
Due to the concern surrounding the coronavirus and government officials restricting public gatherings, we have made the unfortunate decision not to hold the upcoming Family Enrichment Center’s Run Walk for Children presented by German American Bank at Ephram White Park. However, we will conduct the event virtually! (See below for instructions).
The decision was not taken lightly, but our priority lies with the safety of our running community, from all of our participants, volunteers, and to those who support our event.

The funds generated from the Run & Walk For Children supports our Wee Care Childcare program and is CRITICAL to keeping our program operating. Family Enrichment Center knows we have a very giving community and we are thankful for our many sponsors like German American Bank, Kroger, and Bluegrass Cellular!
Information for the Virtual Race:
What is a Virtual Race?
A virtual race is a race that can be run at any location, at any time. You can walk or run the distance of your choice. You can complete your race at the gym on a treadmill, a practice run in town or a stroll in the park. You can run your race at your pace, wherever you like.
How does a virtual race work?
1. Decide WHICH virtual race you would like to participate in—5K (3.1 miles) or Half-Marathon (13.1 miles) and then register online.
2. Decide WHEN to run your race! Remember that you can use the treadmill, run outside, or walk. You can complete your race at one time or take as many days as you like.
3. We believe in the honor system so no proof is required for your race, but it would be awesome if you could upload pictures and tell us about your experience on our Facebook page, Run/Walk for Children. Please use the hash-tag #RunForKids2020 when posting your photos.
Why should I do a virtual race?
1. The chance to add to your medal collection.
2. Complete control over your schedule. Complete the race on your own time. No travel expenses, no hassle with parking and no long lines waiting at the potty.
3. An opportunity to support a great cause!
Who can participate?
Everybody and anybody! There is no age limit and there are no restrictions. So run, jog, walk, crawl, run alone, run in a group, run with your pet, bike, hike, it does not matter. Just get out there and get moving!
When will I receive my finisher’s medal?
On April 15th (if not before) we will be sending an email to all registered participants with further details on how to collect your event shirt and finishers medal.
Registration for the Virtual Event will continue to be open until Saturday, March 28, 2020, and will close at 7:30 a.m. CST. If you have any questions feel free to contact our office.

2019 Low Hollow Trail Fest Weather Policy
For participant safety and the sustainability of the trail the Low Hollow Trail Fest Race Director and staff will closely monitor weather and trail conditions leading up to the race. It is our goal to give the participant as much notice as possible should there be any need for an hourly delay or rescheduling to another day. Our two backup dates are Sunday 6/30/19 and Sat 7/13/19. Please be on the lookout for Trail Fest weather updates emailed to your address on file or from our postings on the Low Hollow Trail Fest & Southwest KyMBA Facebook pages.
An electrical storm within the race course area within 30 mins of the start time should be considered potentially life-threatening to runners and cyclists. A determination will be made at the time as to whether the race should be continued as scheduled, delayed until the storm has passed or postponed to a backup date. The Race Director will monitor the weather and make a decision if any action will be taken to modify the race.
Possible changes include: Altering the start time or in the most extreme situations, postponement of the event to a backup date. Send runners/cyclists home if there is not an adequate safe shelter for everyone to wait out the storm. Remember, trees are not safe shelter and lightning can strike up to 10 miles away. Visible lightning will cause the race to be postponed for a minimum of 30 minutes after the last strike is heard. Additional sightings or rumblings of thunder will continue to delay the race in 30-minute increments. Muddy trail conditions may warrant a postponement. In the event, a participant cannot make their race due to a postponement the participant is still fully eligible to receive their race packet and T-Shirt.
Note: Southwest KyMBA Volunteers have over 2500 hours of personal time invested in the Low Hollow Trail. Southwest KyMBA is seeking to add a dual slalom course, pump track and bike skills course alongside the Low Hollow Trail to achieve The Riverfront Bike Park. By participating in the Low Hollow Trail Fest you are helping us raise the necessary funds. Thank You!
