Aspiria Campus -- Overland Park, KS

9 am - 5K Start time

10 am - KIDS FUN RUN

Run it. Walk it. Stroll it with the whole family – dogs included!  Lace up for the 37th Annual Thanksgiving Day 5K Run & Family Stroll presented by T-Mobile, a community tradition that makes room for every pace and every pup. Race for a personal best or take it easy with the family. Either way, you'll have earned that second slice of pie!

This race benefits the Kansas City Sports Commission & Foundation and WIN for KC. 100% of the proceeds generated will fund our mission of making a better Kansas City through sports by attracting major events such as the 2023 NFL Draft and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Children’s Mercy Toy Drive

Toy donations help bring comfort, distraction and joy to children during their hospital stay. Participants can also support patients and families by purchasing items through the Children’s Mercy Amazon Wish List.
