Henderson, KY (SPA)—Community members, local runners, and supporters of law enforcement will gather at Central Park in Henderson on Saturday, October 17, 2026, for the Mack Brady Fallen Trooper Memorial Run. Starting at 8:00 AM, the event honors the service and legacy of Kentucky State Police Trooper Mack E. Brady while raising critical funds for youth programming across the Commonwealth.

The memorial run serves a dual purpose: paying tribute to a fallen public servant and investing directly in Kentucky’s youth. All proceeds from the event will benefit Trooper Island Kid’s Camp, a non-profit initiative dedicated to providing memorable summer camp experiences for underprivileged children. All financial contributions and entry fees are fully tax-deductible.
