May
- 6:00 pm
Join us for our May meeting as we share our favorite races and the stories behind them! Whether it’s a 5K, a challenging half marathon, or a full marathon, we want to hear which race stands out to you and why. We’ll also talk about upcoming races everyone is excited to participate in, giving members a chance to connect, inspire one another, and maybe even find training partners for future events. Come ready to share, discover new race ideas, and encourage each other to hit the starting line together!
We will start the evening at 6:00 pm with the MD5K Training Team. The meeting will start at 7:00 pm. Snacks will be provided.
When: Tues, May 5 6:00 pm
Where: Meadowbrook Park, Shelter #2, 9101 Nall Avenue, Prairie Village, KS 66207
Many members train for specific goals or events with the Sat Walk & Run Groups. From time to time, we offer additional training opportunities. We are adding an opportunity for a run or walk on Tuesday evenings (except for First Tuesday meeting nights). Women of all ages and abilities are welcome. Go your own pace and as far as you would like. From March 31 – May 5, join us for KCE’s Training Team Tuesdays at Meadowbrook Park from 6 – 7pm.

Ready to take your training to the next level? Training for a 5K doesn’t have to be hard! All it takes is a good pair of shoes and a willingness to start. Join the Training Team and let Coach Helen and KC Express members help you with your fitness journey.
KC Express’s six-week outdoor series helps women and girls (ages 12+) of all ability levels prepare for the Kansas City Express Mother’s Day 5K in a comfortable, supportive, women-only environment.
Each week you’ll get tips on relevant fitness topics and then join other women for a walk/run. KC Express members lead groups of different paces, so you can build your fitness week by week.
Dates: Tuesdays, March 31 – May 5, from 6-7:00 pm
Location: Meadowbrook Park, Shelter 2, 9101 Nall Ave, Prairie Village
Jogging strollers welcome, as long as the child will safely stay within the stroller for the duration of the class

We are not sure who has more fun at the KC Express Mother’s Day 5K, the participants or the volunteers! Sign up, show up, bring a friend or a loved one, and enjoy yourself. Though we’ve gone virtual for 2026, we still have opportunities to volunteer! It only takes a few hours of your time, and it is GREATLY appreciated by the KC Express, as well as the women and girls who come to the event. Thank you so much for your time, energy and commitment to make this morning so fun for all! Remember, men and boys can volunteer, too (they just can’t run in the race).
Check out the list of jobs and sign up at https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/712515644082/false#/invitation. We can’t wait to see you there!
