The 7th annual Lourdes Paducah Iron Mom Half-Marathon raised $45,891.78 for Family Service Society. 

The event, held on Mother’s Day weekend, showcased Paducah to 835 runners from 18 different states.

“Family Service Society is filled with gratitude for all of those who make this wonderful event happen each year,” says Candace Melloy, Executive Director of Family Service Society.  “We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Lourdes, our title sponsor, as well as all of our other sponsors, vendors, volunteers, emergency personnel, City of Paducah staff members, our board members, and of course, our runners. All of you are what makes Iron Mom great!”

Proceeds from Lourdes Paducah Iron Mom Half-Marathon benefit Family Service Society, a non-profit agency serving as a crisis resource to the residents of Paducah/McCracken County since 1927. Family Service Society provides assistance with food, clothing, medications, dental and utilities to local families in need.
