About us
Kansas City’s LGBTQIA+ running and walking club
We’ve been hitting the pavement together since the 1980s. Whether you’ve never run a mile or you’re training for your tenth marathon, you’ll find your pace here. We run twice a week — no signup, no dues, no pressure.
All paces
Slow, medium, fast — run your own race
Walkers welcome
Many of our regulars prefer to walk
Always free
No dues, no fees, no membership required
Social after
We usually grab dinner together after runs
Common questions
Before your first run
Do I need to sign up?
No. Just show up. No registration, no fees, no membership required.
Do I need to be a fast runner?
Not at all. The group has slow, medium, and fast runners — and many walkers. Everyone runs their own pace and returns in about 45 minutes.
Can I walk instead of run?
Yes. Many of our regulars walk every week and enjoy the social aspect just as much as the exercise.
Is the group LGBTQIA+-only?
We’re an LGBTQIA+ running club, and we warmly welcome allies and friends. Everyone is welcome here.
