 About the Trolley Run

The Trolley Run is the largest 4-mile race in the United States and has a reputation for its fast, flat-to-downhill course. The Trolley Run holds the female and male 4-mile American Best Times, making it the fastest course in the U.S.!

The Trolley Run is the major annual fundraiser for the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired.  For over 54 years, CCVI has been providing blind and visually impaired infants, preschoolers and kindergartners from the Kansas City area with the special skills they need in order to function at their highest potential in the sighted world.  All proceeds from the Trolley Run benefit CCVI.

Please visit www.trolleyrun.org for more information about the event and CCVI!
