KC Running Company

I’m a new runner and they were so nice!!! Michelle is awesome and so helpful! I now feel better armed to put one step in front of the other and not kill myself. LOL
But seriously… Their new store is in a great location, is very well stocked, and the employees are a wealth of information. A friend of mine needed a knee brace and I was SHOCKED at the stock and knowledge they had. And, who doesn’t love a locally made product? Come on now! I personally needed some running socks and they didn’t disappoint. Both were very reasonably priced too.
And even if you are new to running or a seasoned vet. they have a running club, put on very high quality races and have a great area set with brochures and calendars for the season around KC.

Had a great experience with Patricia. I am getting back into running. She explained a lot to me, was patient and very courteous. Will come back again.

I have run in dozens of races sponsored and/​or timed by KC Running Company during the past two years and will say that they are the gold standard for race planning, management, and timing. They always put on high-​quality, professional races, and I think that just about anyone who has run many road races in KC during the past few years would agree.
Race results are always accurate and posted very quickly and photos follow soon after when applicable. The KC Running Company sponsored races such as Rock the Parkway, Rock the Crossroads, the Rivalry Run, and the Monster Dash are fun for everyone whether they are competitive runners or recreational joggers or walkers and many of them have kids races afterwards so they are great for children and families.
The staff who help out with the events also get to know you and recognize you and it’s always so nice for them to see you before or after a race and call you by your name.
In sum, they know what they are doing and they care about putting on the best possible race for everyone. Any time you run a race timed by KC Running Company or hosted by them you can be assured it’ll be a good one!
