About the race
Kansas City hosts The Best Races events at Mill Creek Park on Broadway Boulevard. The Run for Mental Health and Run Against Breast Cancer offer 5K, 10K, and 13.1-mile (half-marathon) distances in a community-focused, low-pressure setting. The atmosphere emphasizes inclusivity—open to all paces and ages (under 18 with guardian)—with a private-wave format and no timing chips (timing optional via apps).
Swag includes a shipped running shirt, finisher medal, towel or giveaway, and a digital training pack, plus online results and a club invitation. A virtual option, charity fundraising, and sponsorship network enhance the experience. Date and registration details are on the event page.
