Always Hope Easter Run KANSAS CITY : March 27, 2027
Always Hope Easter Run KANSAS CITY takes place on March 27, 2027 at Mill Creek Park on Broadway Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. The event offers multiple race formats and a virtual alternative, and it runs in timed waves with a capped field per wave to limit crowding.
Distances and formats include:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half‑Marathon 13.1
- Family 1 Mile Fun Run
- Virtual Run
Participants receive mailed race apparel within the United States, a finisher medal, a virtual training run emailed about a month before the event, online results and a certificate of completion, and an invitation to join a local running club. An optional upgrade to a lightweight moisture‑wicking technical shirt is available for an additional five dollars. Race bibs are distributed on race day while most swag is shipped to the participant mailing address; shipments generally arrive the week of the race and may be delayed for registrations made within two weeks of the event.
Timing is optional; there are no timing chips. Participants may record times with common running apps and submit results through the event’s online form for posting. Waves close when full; sold out waves offer a virtual option or a waitlist. Sponsors listed for the event include Cure Hydration, KaChava, Runforothers, and KeepGoingRun.
