Lourdes Presents the 2nd Annual Paducah Iron Mom Half-Marathon 

Lourdes will once again be the title sponsor of the 2nd Annual Paducah Iron Mom Half-Marathon on Saturday, May 12, Mother’s Day Weekend.  The Paducah Iron Mom is a co-ed event offering a half-marathon and half-marathon relay for two and four person teams.

This 13.1 mile event starts at 6:30 a.m. for individual and relay team runners.  Course improvements to this year’s route feature new Start and Finish locations at the spectacular  “Wall to Wall” murals at the Ohio River and an opportunity for runners to enjoy even more of Paducah’s beautiful neighborhoods. The route will continue to showcase Paducah by running through Jefferson Street, The Greenway Trail, Bob Noble Park, and historic downtown and LowerTown.

The successful 2011 event registered 800 runners from 14 states and utilized over 100 volunteers.  Early registration already has runners from six different states registered with projected numbers expected to surpass last year’s inaugural event.

All proceeds from the race will go to Family Service Society, Inc.  Founded in 1927, Family Service Society, Inc., provides immediate emergency relief to residents of Paducah and McCracken County.  The 2011 event raised $20,000 for the non-profit community organization.

If you’re interested in participating as a runner or volunteer, call Amy Peal at 270-744-3701 or visit the official race website at www.paducahironmom.com.  Registration forms are available on the website and at all Rehab Associates’ locations, as well as goPerformance & FITNESS, inside the Paducah Regional Sports Plex.
