Group Runs

There are lots of group runs all over the KC metro area that have been organized by KCTC members.   This is a great way to get to know other runners in the community, hook up with runners that run your same pace, log some miles and make some new friends.  These are all informal so you just need to show up.

Sunday Group Run- Ryan McCamy leads this group leaving at 7:30am from Einstein Bros. Bagels at 71st & Mission Road in the Prairie Village Shopping Center. Join this group for an easy paced 6 to 10 miles and then stay after for a bagel.

Sunday Group Run with the Northland Runners- 7am during the summer & 8am during the cooler months from Macken Park, on the west side of the park along Howell Street by the restrooms. On Sundays from December through March we meet at 8am at members homes and share breakfast after our run.  slspurplecat at sbcglobal dot net ,  Northland Runners Page
