B.E.A.R.D. 5K /10K

B.E.A.R.D. (Building Endurance and Running Dreams) 5K/10K

Join us for the 2nd Annual B.E.A.R.D. 5K/10K on Sunday, March 9th at 8:00am at in honor of our fellow runner, Scott Green, a.k.a the Bearded Runner. Scott was diagnosed in 2023 with Stage 4 Colon Cancer that metastasized to the liver, abdominal wall, lungs, left hip, the skull, and soft tissue around the right eye. Scott lost his battle on March 23, 2024. Scott loved the running community in Kansas City and always did whatever he could to improve it, from volunteering at races to just being a friendly face at group runs and sharing the BeardedRunner discount code. While enduring his chemo and radiation treatments, Scott continued to stay active and on March 10, 2024, Scott accomplished his goal of 300 lifetime races at the inaugural B.E.A.R.D. 5K/10K.

B.E.A.R.D. 5K/10K is more than just a race — it's a celebration of resilience and the power of community. Join us as we honor Scott and celebrate the lives of all those affected by cancer. With its scenic 5K course and electrifying atmosphere, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience that combines passion, fitness, and memories that will stay with you long after the finish line.
