  All participants receive one-of-a-kind swag, including a unique finisher's medal, participant bib, and a commemorative apparel item. In addition, finishers receive finish-line food and drink, on-course entertainment, a great post-race party, and much more!

  For those wanting to share in the tradition but are unable to attend in person, we offer the Hospital Hill Run Virtual Race option for all three distances. We hope that you can experience everything this event has to offer in person.

  Presented by The Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City (BIAKS-GKC), the Memorial Day run is celebrating its 39th year. Formerly the Amy Thompson Run for Brain Injury, it is one of the oldest runs in the Kansas City area and attracts close to 1,000 runners and spectators of all ages each year. The course begins and ends in beautiful Loose Park in Kansas City and goes through some historic neighborhoods surrounding the park. All particpants receive a finishers medal and compete for age group and overall awards. Custom event shirts can be added to your registration for an additional $7.

  This run focuses on the successes and challenges of those affected by brain injury. It celebrates their courage and their families’ determination to move forward after a brain injury. Every 18.5 seconds a brain injury occurs in this country. It is the number one cause of death and disability in children and young adults. Over 21,000 individuals in Kansas and the Greater KC area were affected by a brain injury last year.

  Proceeds from the run help BIAKS-GKC (www.biaks.org) provide vital programming, including referral services, prevention programming, support and education for survivors, loved ones and brain injury professionals.

  Join us at historic Elmwood Cemetery for the 8th Annual Graveyard 5K on Saturday, October 25th!

  This one-of-a-kind run winds entirely through the beautiful grounds of Elmwood Cemetery—home to some of Kansas City’s most notable figures—and supports vital preservation and maintenance efforts.

  Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited to announce a 1-mile fun run for all ages and age group winners! We will also have fun activities to enjoy post-race.

  🎃 Kirkland Brooks Armour, the founding member of Armour and Company Meat Packing, is buried in the Armour Family plot in Elmwood. Armour Boulevard is named after Kirkland and his family.

  🎃 The Elmwood Cemetery is the second oldest cemetery in Kansas City.

  🎃 It's also the final resting place of 766 soldiers who fought in the Civil War on both sides.

  The Fox Trot 5K Run is a fundraising event to benefit Académie Lafayette International High School's travel abroad programs. ALIHS believes firmly in the value of global intercultural learning experiences and is committed to equity in education. Cost of travel is the greatest inhibiting factor for public schools in providing such invaluable outside-the-classroom life experiences for all students, regardless of individual family means. All proceeds of the event will go directly to individual student financial need.
