PADUCAH, KY (KFVS) - The West Kentucky Community and Technical College campus will be closed to traffic for a 5K Run on October 20 between 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The public is invited to participate in the fundraising event titled, “Take Back the Night,” which is sponsored by Alpha Epsilon Beta, WKCTC’s local chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association.

Registration is $25. All proceeds benefit AEB and the Paducah Child Watch Children’s Advocacy Center.

The event will include a 5K race, a 5K walk and a one-mile Fun Run for children ages 12 and under. Awards will be given to the top three in each category.

“This is an opportunity for our students to work together and raise money for our club, while also reaching out to community to help promote the awareness and prevention of child abuse,” said Gary Reese, WKCTC criminal justice program coordinator and AEB advisor.
