Rock Chalk Run: 10K, 5K & 1K Fun Run/Walk

The Rock Chalk Run takes place on October 3, 2027 in Overland Park, Kansas, at 12604 Quivira. The event offers multiple distance options and includes a family oriented program alongside vendor and sponsor activity.

Race distances:

10K
5K
1K Family Fun Run/Walk

Registration opens March 1, 2027. Listed prices for 2027 are $45 for the 10K, $25 for the 5K, and $15 for the 1K. A group registration discount applies when three or more people register together; each registration saves $3.

The 1K participants receive a bib but are not officially timed. In 2026 organizers introduced a new trail for the 10K and implemented staggered starts. The event partners with adidas for run shirts and hosts sponsor and vendor booths including Fleet Feet, Athletico, KU Alumni, and Truity Credit Union. Additional on site features include a Family Fun Zone with activities for all ages, a KU Bookstore pop up shop, and food trucks.

Proceeds support scholarship funding for KU Edwards Campus students. The 2026 event attracted nearly 450 runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
