Get ready to lace up your shoes, hit the pavement, and experience the thrill of Uncle Sam's favorite running event. Embark on a four-mile journey along the vibrant Ward Parkway, one of Kansas City’s most iconic streets, adorned in festive hues to honor the red, white, and blue spirit of the day. This scenic route promises not just a run but an unforgettable experience through the heart of the city.
Kick off your Thanksgiving Day celebration with a run or walk. Every participant receives a long sleeved shirt & Tippin’s pumpkin pie! Run a 5k, 10k, or Downhill Mile. If you would rather walk to start your day, feel free to participate in the 5k or the 1 Mile Walk. Help us support "Harvesters Community Food Network" in supplying food during the holiday season.
Fill the streets with holiday cheer as hundreds of Santas run through the streets of Kansas City. Every participant will receive a long-sleeve race shirt or a Santa suit, a finisher ornament, and holiday treats! Santa suits include Santa’s hat, pants, belt, and coat. You can choose between the 5k or 1k. Kids under 12 can participate in the Elf Dash as well! This race partners with "Operation Breakthrough" to make sure everyone gets something from Santa!
