Kentucky Nurses Association 5K Fun Run/Walk
Join us on Saturday, September 12, 2026, for a 5k event to promote health and celebrate the 93,000 nurses across Kentucky! The Kentucky Nurses Association 2026 5K Fun Run/Walk is a vibrant and purposeful event dedicated to promoting health, wellness, and community engagement. This walk brings together individuals to support the Kentucky Nurses Association (KNA) and nurses across Kentucky who serve as leaders to promote positive healthcare in the Commonwealth. The walk provides a unique opportunity to network with fellow community members, raise awareness about the critical role nurses play in healthcare, and support the future of nursing through essential fundraising efforts. Together, we can make a difference for nurses and the communities they serve!
The Kentucky Nurses Association 2026 5k Fun Run Walk will take place at Freeman Lake Park on Blue Heron Way in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. The 5k route provides a view of the beautiful lake. This 5k is for all fitness levels to walk or run—join nurses and others who support Kentucky nurses!
