Red Wednesday Run presented by GEHA

The Kansas City Chiefs and Arrowhead Events are hosting the fifth-annual Red Wednesday Run presented by GEHA to coincide with the club’s yearly Red Wednesday celebration on Wednesday, September 4th. This year’s edition of the race remains virtual and will add to festivities leading up to the 2024-2025 NFL season prior to the Chiefs hosting the Baltimore Ravens at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday, September 5th.

As part of the race registration, participants will receive this year’s special edition Red Wednesday flag benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City (RMHC-KC), and a Red Wednesday Run t-shirt mailed directly to the address provided during registration. In true Red Wednesday fashion, a portion from each registration will be donated to RMHC-KC.

With no official racecourse for this year’s event, Chiefs fans throughout the country and all over the world can participate virtually with the option to complete the 5K however they choose, including running or walking in their neighborhood, in a local park, on a nature trail or from their treadmill. 

While Wednesday, September 4th serves as the official day of the Red Wednesday 5K, the virtual race will be open on Wednesday, August 8th and will conclude on Friday, September 6th. Once participants complete the 5K, they’re asked to take a photo in their Chiefs/Red Friday 5K gear with their Red Wednesday flag and post it on social media using #RedWednesday.

The 2024 Red Wednesday Run presented by GEHA marks the 16th team-sponsored 5K run/walk for the Chiefs and Arrowhead Events and is designed to give all Chiefs fans the opportunity to connect with the team, even virtually. Whether you run or walk, finish with the fastest time, or just run for fun, the Red Wednesday 5K is designed for everyone to enjoy.
