Thanks for signing up for the Cookie Run 5K on Saturday! We are excited to see so many people at this fifth annual event benefiting the Girl Scouts! We are also excited to be holding the event again this year at Bluhawk in Overland Park! Bluhawk is a new commercial and residential area at 159th and Antioch, just off of US-69 south, just minutes south of I-435. This area works out great for this year's event and we appreciate the hospitality shown to us by the developer, Price Brothers, and the retail tenants.
Packet pickup will be at the KC Running Company store (200 E. 135th Street KCMO) from 2-6pm on Friday afternoon. You can also pick up your packet on race morning near the start/finish beginning at 7am. You will be able to pick up your Girl Scout cookies, if you ordered some when you registered, at packet pickup. You will be able to exchange your shirt for a different size out of the leftover shirts in the packet pickup area after the race.
Race day parking will be in the main parking lot for the shopping center near the start/finish on Lowell Street, on the east side of the shopping center. The packet pickup and pre- and post-race area will be on the east end of the shopping center near TJ Maxx.
The 5K will start at 8am and follow a course that you can find HERE.
The Kids Run will be after the 5K at approximately 9:15am. Please do not bring your dog to participate in the race. We like dogs but our insurer doesn't like the tripping hazard created by their leashes. You can run with strollers but we would ask you to start towards the back to reduce congestion. It looks like it is going to be a nice day, but if the weather changes and it is determined that it is not safe to run, there will be no refunds or transfers.
You can check your results after the race aby holding the camera on your smart phone over the QR code on your bib number to get your results! A link to race photos will be posted to the website and emailed out after the race. Age group awards will be mailed out after the race.
There will be grab and go bags at the finish line with some post-race snacks, bottled water and your finishers medal.
Thanks again for signing up and we look forward to seeing you at the race!
Sign your kids up for the Kids Run after the 5K! Kids run participants receive a participant shirt and finishers medal and run in waves, based on their age, ranging from approximately 50-200 yards.
We rely on the help of volunteers to make the event a success and have a variety of options available for those who would like to help out. Check them out and sign up HERE if you can help!
