KC Pet Project 5K

The KC Pet Project 5K is a charitable running event scheduled for June 7, 2025, in historic Swope Park, Kansas City. Participants can register to run or walk, with all registrants receiving a race bib and a commemorative medal. An optional commemorative t-shirt is available for an additional fee.

This event aims to support the KC Pet Project, which cares for over 16,000 homeless and injured pets annually. While the race promotes animal welfare, participants are asked to leave their pets at home, except for service animals. The event also features adoptable pets along the route for participants to see.
