About the Event

Gemini said

Celebrate spring with a purposeful stride at the Always Hope Easter Run, taking place at Mill Creek Park in Kansas City on Saturday, April 4, 2026. This event is designed as a high-support, low-stress "boutique" race, capping participation in small waves to ensure an intimate community feel. Runners and walkers of all ages can choose between the 5K, 10K, or a challenging 13.1-mile Half Marathon course. Starting at 7:30 AM CDT along Broadway Boulevard, the event prioritizes personal goals and charitable impact over intense competition, with a portion of every mile logged after the race being donated to partner charities.

Participants enjoy a premium "no-hassle" experience where swag is shipped directly to their homes, eliminating the need for traditional packet pickups. Each registration includes a running t-shirt (with an optional technical fabric upgrade), a finisher’s medal, a commemorative towel, and access to a digital training pack. While the atmosphere is relaxed, professional support is provided by coordinators on-site for three hours following the first wave. For those unable to attend in person at Mill Creek Park, a robust Virtual Run option allows for participation from any location while still earning the official race medal and certificate. With registration fees starting at $41.21 and waves filling up on a first-come, first-served basis, early sign-up is essential for this popular holiday tradition.

Kansas City is a major Midwestern metropolitan area that spreads across the border of Missouri and Kansas. It is a city that tends to hide itself from tourists.

It is unique in that it is split down the middle by the state line of Kansas and Missouri.
