Event Information
The Arthritis Foundation’s original Jingle Bell Run is a fun way to get decked out and be festive, while racing to raise funds and awareness to cure America’s #1 cause of disability. Few runs in the country are quite like this one, as the Jingle Bell Run takes place entirely UNDERGROUND. The course is flat, festive and fun and, best of it, it never ventures outside into the brutal winter climate. The Jingle Bell Run is the perfect family event, with appearances from child-friendly guests like Santa Claus, Kansas City Royals mascot Sluggerrr, jugglers, a magician, your favorite Star Wars characters, a live deejay, and more. And don’t forget about our Holiday Hallway, a darkened stretch of the run that’s aglow with thousands of lights and decorations! All participants receive a long-sleeved T-shirt and a finisher’s medal. Go to jbr.org/kansascity to register today!

The Great Kaw Adventure Race is an orienteering based, cognitive, and physical challenge event. Challenges could be trivia about Eudora’s German and Indian heritage, complex equations, gunny sack races, or a simple puzzle. Participants will be required to navigate to waypoints and challenges to retrieve important artifacts. To acquire these artifacts, an action will have to be performed. Participants will be limited to right of way and public properties unless otherwise stated. If we catch you running through lawns (and our residents will) you will be penalized.

Each two person team will be issued a map with the waypoints marked. It is up to the team to decide what is the best way to complete the course. No cue sheets will be issued. No markings will be placed in town. The course will be open to traffic and citizens. Participants will be required to be within two seconds of each other regardless of transit. If you’re running you should be able to touch, you will both be in the same boat, and if your cycling you should be able to draft. This is a team event so choose your exit buddy well. All finishers will receive an award for finishing (more to come soon!)

For 2017 the GKAR will have two classes.

The 30 miler will require participants to run, paddle 11.4 miles, and cycle gravel roads back to the finish line. Depending on strategy, participants could travel between 24 to 30 miles. This class will require a running, river travel, and cycling unless conditions prevent are unsafe. All finishers will receive an award, with top prizes going to first, second, and third place teams.

The 5 miler will require participants to run or walk through and around Eudora to find waypoints. Depending on strategy, participants could travel between 4 to 8 miles. All finishers will receive an award. This course will focus heavily on orienteering and exploring the community.

The Flash Dash Exists in Memory of Brandon Russell

On the morning of April 8th, 2017, Brandon Russell FINISHED the Rock Parkway half marathon, suddenly collapsed and later tragically passed away.   In everything Brandon did, he always finished 100%.  Brandon was a fantastic individual who loved running, comics, sports (MU, Royals and Chiefs), his family, his friends and his fiancé, Taryn.  He had nicknames such as Smiley, Flash, and Mr. Handsome.  Brandon should be remembered for all the amazing things he did, but one thing that he consistently did was bring people together to ensure they had fun.  This is exactly what the Flash Dash is about.  Bringing people together and ensuring they have a good time! #belikebrandon #blb
