The event in a few words

In the American calendar, July 4th 💐 is an important date as it marks the commemoration of the declaration of independence in 1776, from Great Britain 🇬🇧. This national holiday celebrates with fireworks 🎇, patriotic songs, and barbecues 🍗. But a holiday also means an opportunity to put on a bib! 🎽 Meet in Kansas City to participate in the July 4th Freedom Run 🚏, a relaxed race with the sole purpose of gathering with family or friends 🫶. Beyond the finish line, the clear goal is to have a good sporting time 💪. Windy streets along the iconic Missouri River and vast parks. Since everyone has different levels of enjoyment, the organization has planned several formats: 5 km, 10 km, and a half-marathon 🌆. Everything is in place to properly celebrate this national day. If you've come with your family, a 1-mile (1.61 km) 🏃‍♀️ course is on the list of festivities. Oh yeah! If you haven't found what suits you, don't worry, the race is also available in connected version 📲.

City and festive, this event will allow you to discover Kansas City from a new angle, exploring its dynamic streets and lush parks 🌳. Enjoy the lively atmosphere and run towards freedom in Jackson County 🏆. Visit the National World War I Museum : A must-see for history enthusiasts 🏛️. Explore the Country Club Plaza: Shop or just stroll in this picturesque neighborhood 🛍️. Discover the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art: For art and culture lovers 🎨.
