Experience the magic of autumn at The Coffee Lovers Run 5K/10K/13.1 on November 28th, 2026, in Kansas City's Northland neighborhood. This vibrant race combines running with a love for coffee, offering participants an unforgettable morning experience. Race day begins at Truman Park, just off Main Street, where runners and spectators alike are greeted by the crisp autumn air and the delightful aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The picturesque setting is enhanced as trees around the park start to change colors, creating a scenic backdrop for this early-morning event. This annual celebration has grown from humble beginnings in 2016 with over one hundred participants to today's gathering of thousands who run or walk in support of scholarships for underprivileged youth and community-building initiatives. The course winds through scenic trails around Truman Park, featuring gentle undulations that provide a varied but manageable experience. Highlights include a loop around the central lake and a climb up to the park’s main entrance, offering breathtaking views. Race waves commence at 7:30 AM with Wave A, followed by Waves B and C starting half an hour later each. Late participants are welcome until all waves have filled; coordinators remain for three hours post-first wave to ensure everyone can join in. The course layout includes a family-friendly 1-mile fun run, a beginner-ideal 5K, an intermediate-challenging 10K, and the significant distance option of a half-marathon. Weather on race day is expected to be cool but comfortable with temperatures ranging from around 4.3°C to 13.6°C (feels like about 7.2°C), accompanied by moderate winds up to 11 mph and humidity at 69%. This brisk morning will keep participants energized throughout the run. Registration fees vary: $41.48 for a 5K, $46.92 for a 10K, $39.31 for a family 1-mile fun run, $50.17 for a half-marathon, and $41.48 for the virtual option. All registrations can be completed via https://raceroster.com/events/2026/116937/coffee-lovers-run-5k10k131-kansas-city. Bib pickup is hassle-free; swag bags will ship directly to your address, and race bibs are provided on the day of the event. First-timers should arrive with a valid email for final details and course maps sent out by Wednesday before the run. Join us at The Coffee Lovers Run 5K/10K/13.1 to support local initiatives, enjoy beautiful fall landscapes, and connect with fellow runners in Kansas City.
