This event may create a delay to your normal Saturday morning schedule. Your support and patience is appreciated. Below is a race day driving map that should be used to avoid significant delays. The best way to avoid an impact to your drive is to refrain from entering the perimeter of this map from 7am - 2pm. Interstates and major highways are your best routing options when possible. If you must enter the race footprint prior to the 2pm conclusion of the race, the best east/west thoroughfares to use are highlighted on the driving map.

Residents along the route will be allowed to cross the road during the race when there are gaps in participants and the police officers deem it safe to do so. The Kansas City Police Department has been contracted to provide appropriate traffic control during the race to allow for safe travel for you as well as the 8,000 participants along the course.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.  Please cheer for the runners and enjoy the race!
