Run for YOUR Ribbon 5K is a running race on August 29, 2026 in Georgetown, KY.
From the Organizer
Nova Leap Home Health, in partnership with Country Boy Brewery, presents the Run for YOUR Ribbon 5K — a community race with heart, purpose, and color. Every ribbon represents a story, and every step helps strengthen awareness for the causes that touch our families, friends, and neighbors.
Join us as we shine a spotlight on the colors that matter: Alzheimer’s disease, breast and uterine cancer, colorectal and prostate cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your presence helps elevate education, support, and hope for those affected.
After you cross the finish line, the energy keeps going. The celebration area will be packed with elder‑care vendors, awareness tables, and health partners ready to connect you with resources, education, and ways to make an impact. Lace up, show up, and let your color fly — this is the run where awareness meets action and every stride pushes hope forward.
Run Bold. Run Bright. Run Your Ribbon.
