Myasthenia Gravis Association's Triple Crown Showdown 5k

Lace up your shoes for a cause that truly moves you at the Myasthenia Gravis Association's Triple Crown Showdown 5k on Sunday, May 3, 2026, in Leawood, KS. This cherished 15th annual event brings the community together at the vibrant Town Center Plaza for a day of running, walking, and vital support. Participants can choose their challenge with a competitive or non-chip-timed 5K Run & Walk, a peaceful 1 Mile Mosey, or even get the little ones involved in the Tot Trot. For those unable to join in person, a "Stuck in Your Stall" virtual option ensures everyone can contribute.

The 5K route offers a fun 3.1-mile journey through the heart of Leawood's Town Center, providing an engaging urban experience. While specific elevation details aren't highlighted, a course winding through a town center typically offers a relatively flat and accessible path for all skill levels. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 71F and lows near 52F, accompanied by a low 16% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant spring racing weather.

More than just a race, the Triple Crown Showdown is a powerful fundraising initiative, having raised over $600,000 in its history to support individuals and families affected by Myasthenia Gravis. The Myasthenia Gravis Association (MGA) provides crucial free services, including support groups, education, and awareness, making every stride in this event a direct contribution to improving lives. Join fellow runners and walkers at Town Center Plaza, located at 5000 W. 117th Street, and be a part of this impactful community celebration.
