About the race
The Best Races in Kansas City hosts multi-distance running events at Mill Creek Park along Broadway Boulevard, offering 5K, 10K, and 13.1-mile (half-marathon) options. The atmosphere is welcoming and low-stress, described as a smaller, private group experience with capped waves and supportive coordinators. Timing is optional—runners can use their own apps and submit results, with no timing chips.
Swag is shipped to registrants and includes a running shirt, finisher medal or towel, and a digital training pack, while race bibs are provided on race day. A no-pussies required packet pickup and virtual-run options add flexibility, and charity initiatives foster community involvement. The event lineup often features themed editions, such as Lunar New Year or coffee-lover vibes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
