Even people who would never consider running can have a great time with our race – a marathon is truly a unifying event that an entire city can celebrate. Our course allows us to showcase many of Kansas City’s most beautiful, unique areas, including downtown, 18th & Vine, the Plaza, Waldo, Brookside and Westport, and we want people in these neighborhoods and throughout the city to line the streets and show runners what Kansas City is all about!
