Run for Coffee Lovers 5K/10K/13.1 KANSAS CITY 2026

Run for Coffee Lovers in Kansas City is a small group race at Mill Creek Park with 5K, 10K, and half-marathon options, plus a 1-mile Family Fun Run. It is designed for runners and walkers, not just racers: all paces are welcome, kids can join with a guardian, and timing is optional. A virtual option is available for the main distances, and an eco-registration choice is offered for those who do not want a shirt. The exact course map is emailed to participants, and each in-person wave has a cap, so entries close as soon as waves fill. The coffee theme is straightforward: the event targets coffee lovers, and the first five finishers receive coffee. Participants can track their own time with an app and submit it afterward, and the organizer suggests local run clubs for ongoing support.
