Run/Walk/Train

Kansas City Express offers several options to help you begin or maintain your running or walking program.

Running and walking together
Training with a group can be more rewarding and motivating than training alone.  So, we organize free group runs/walks every Saturday morning. You will enjoy a new course each month with varying distances (usually 6-10 miles) based on the goals of everyone in the group.

Group Run Locations (Saturdays at 7 a.m.)

        July: Einstein Bros Bagels, 103rd & StateLine Rd, KCMO
