A Great Run
Few events in Evansville have been as iconic and beloved as the Arts Fest River Run. Organized as a promotional vehicle for the annual Arts Festival, participants would set out on a 12K course that began at Audubon State Park in Henderson, Kentucky, crossed the U.S. Highway 41 bridge, and wound its way to Downtown Evansville. And while the clock may have stopped on the race 20 years ago this summer, River Run founder and director Pat Shoulders remembers it as if it were yesterday.
