First Tuesdays
May 5
- 6:00 pm
Join us Tuesday, May 5, at Meadowbrook Park, Shelter #2, 9101 Nall Avenue, Prairie Village, KS 66207
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.
