JOYRUN

JOYRUN is a community race held in September at Heritage Park, Shelter 1, in Olathe, Kansas. Participants can select a 5K run, a 1 Mile Run, or a 1 Mile Walk, making the event suitable for both runners and walkers, not exclusively trained racers. It is organized by JoyKC and is in its fourth year. Registration includes a race T-shirt for participants. The race route is centered around Heritage Park, with the post-race After Bash located near the finish line. This gathering features food vendors, complimentary giveaways, and various activities. Leashed dogs are permitted at the event. JOYRUN also emphasizes fundraising, with proceeds benefiting JoyKC programs. Individuals can register as fundraisers, utilize a fundraising toolkit, volunteer, or become sponsors.
