Annual Kansas City Marathon is tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 21. The course stretches from 6th Street in Downtown all the way to 75th Street in Waldo. Hard to describe all the eastern and western boundary roads, so just take a look at the map!
Pay attention to the times, as that determines when a road will be closed/reopened.
I’ve lived within the circuit area before and it can be a little annoying having plans to do errands, only to realize you’re “trapped” for a few hours. But hey, at least it only happens once a year.
If you’re running it, you’re crazy, but good luck and stay hydrated!
I’m running in the 10k. This is a very enjoyable course and I love seeing the neighborhoods in this part of town.
Good luck! I will be rooting for you from the comfort of my apartment!
I was living on the Plaza in 2021, and I remember being up early enough to catch the runners going through 47th while going out to get a coffee. Quite a chilly morning, too. Hopefully the temps will be nicer!
How did the 10k go?
It was good! Weather was great and I felt good during the run. Though I was 2 minutes slower than my PR. I blame catching COVID in August.
