This is one of my favorite Half Marathons of the year and I do quite a few. It's one of the larger races in the area so it has all of the perks that come along with that, an expo, pacers, viewing area at finish line, bands along the route, etc.

It's a pretty flat course for Kansas City which means that there are a few rolling hills but nothing extreme. The weather this time of year is usually a little on the cool side which helps with a faster time. The scenery up and down Ward Parkway is amazing and the last mile is all downhill.

I've done this race five years in a row now and wouldn't think about missing it!
