About the race
Rock The Parkway takes place on April 10, 2027, in Kansas City, Missouri, with courses routed along Ward Parkway and both start and finish in front of the host's world headquarters at 9400 Ward Parkway.
The event program lists these distances:
- 13.1 miles Half Marathon
- 5K
The Half Marathon and the 5K are scheduled as separate races so each has its own start order on race day. Registration information and fees are provided for each entry type: standard Half Marathon entry ($65.00) and 5K entry ($31.00). An alternate entry combines the Half Marathon with a running shoe package; that package is priced at $204.00 and includes a $160 gift card to The Running Well Store to use toward a pair of running shoes.
Registration windows differ by entry type. Standard race entries open September 23, 2026, and the shoe-package entry opens September 30, 2026; all listed registration windows close October 5, 2026.
The 2027 edition is described as having a refreshed presentation while maintaining the event format of separate Half Marathon and 5K races along Ward Parkway. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
