Teams

Get your friends together and form a team. Teams can be as large as you like and the three fastest times per team will be counted.  Receive $2.00 off per runner when you sign up as a team.

Chip Timing

Both the 10K and 5K will be bib chip timed.

Course

Both courses start and finish at The Colonnade on the Concourse, passing The Kansas City Museum, historic homes, the waterfall on the bluffs and traversing along Cliff Drive, a US scenic byway.  The courses are measured with a bicycle and Jones counter for accuracy but the measurements, maps and fee will not be submitted to USATF, saving the club about $800.  Not sending documentation to USATF is only an issue if your road running performance needs to be accepted as a record or be nationally ranked.
