From the Organizer
Danny Carothers was an outstanding leader in our community. He lead quietly behind the scenes encouraging our better angels to love one another and help each other up. Conquer the Hill is a 5K Run/Walk to honor Danny's leadership, bring us together to meet the needs of neighbors in our community and to move each other forward. If you knew Danny, you know how his life and love impacted you. Danny always told us, "we can do this together"!
As the runners and walkers conquer historic Hospital Hill in Downtown Bowling Green KY, we won't just be running a race we'll be providing a hand up to our neighbors. We'll be adding to the Danny Carothers Housing Endowment through the Community Foundation of South Central Kentucky to benefit the housing programs of House on the Hill. Danny saw the need to help others conquer their hills, to get over and reach the other side. On April 18, 2026, we'll come together to help our neighbors conquer housing costs and become more of the people Danny knew we could be. His leadership and love impacts us all! We carry it with us into our future.
