Hospital Hill Run Welcomes COUNTRY Financial as Gold Sponsor

KANSAS CITY, MO (May 5, 2026) – The 53rd annual Hospital Hill Run returns on May 16, continuing its legacy as Kansas City’s oldest road race and a premier test for runners of all levels. While participants take on the course’s signature challenges, the event’s success is driven by the collective efforts of dedicated partners, volunteers, and community supporters. Among them are the event’s sponsors, whose contributions extend far beyond race-day visibility. What motivates organizations to get involved? We connected with COUNTRY Financial to learn more about their decision to support the Hospital Hill Run.
