Valentine's Day Run 5K/10K/13.1 KANSAS CITY

Fall in love with fitness this Valentine’s Day at our enchanting Valentine's Run. Whether you're running solo or alongside your loved ones, this heartwarming event promises to make the holiday unforgettable. Embrace the spirit of camaraderie and wellness as you lace up for a morning filled with joy and movement.
This intimate race is designed for all paces and ages—perfect whether you’re sprinting ahead or enjoying a leisurely stroll. The course itself offers a serene backdrop, ensuring that every step feels stress-free and supportive. With no need to worry about cumbersome equipment, focus solely on the run and the company around you.
Timing your progress is entirely optional; use an app like Strava or RunKeeper if you wish to track your performance. Alternatively, our coordinators will be there to assist with timekeeping should you prefer a more relaxed approach. No timing chips are required here—this race aims to uplift rather than stress out participants.
Upon registration, runners receive a swag bag packed with goodies:
- A running t-shirt shipped directly to your US address
- A finisher’s towel or giveaway item
- An elegant finisher's medal
- Access to our digital training pack and online results
- The opportunity to join one of our local run clubs for continued support
Swag bags are mailed out the week before the race, ensuring you have everything you need well ahead of time. On race day, bibs will be provided at the start line.
Choose from three wave times—7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, or 8:30 AM—and email your preferred slot to info@thebestraces.com. Late arrivals are welcome; our coordinators stay on site for an additional three hours after the first wave starts.
For those who can’t make it in person but still want to participate, a virtual run option is available. This includes access to digital training tools and allows you to complete your race anytime from anywhere. Submit your results via email to receive your finisher's medal.
