Event Details
The Sloth Run offers multiple distance options: a 5K, a 10K, and a Half-Marathon (13.1 miles). There is also a Virtual Run option and a Family 1 Mile Fun Run. The event takes place at Mill Creek Park on Broadway Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. It is scheduled for Saturday, August 29, 2026.
The event describes itself as a smaller, private group run with capped waves. It is open to all paces and ages, with participants under 18 requiring a guardian. The run is untimed, with no timing chips used. Participants may track their own time using an app if they wish. The event emphasizes a supportive, stress-free setting.
Participants receive a swag bag which includes a running t-shirt (shipped to US addresses), a finisher's medal, a finisher's towel or giveaway, and a digital training pack. Bibs are provided on race day. Technical running shirts are available as an optional upgrade.
There are multiple wave start times, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Late runners can run upon arrival, as coordinators stay for three hours after the first wave. A final update with course maps is emailed the Wednesday before the race.
