This milestone anniversary race offers distances for every runner, including a challenging Half Marathon, a brand-new 10K, and a spirited 5K, plus a Kid's Run for the youngest athletes. The USATF-certified course kicks off and finishes at William Jewell College, taking participants on a scenic journey through the vibrant streets of downtown Liberty, historic neighborhoods, and beautiful parks. While known for its "rolling hills" and a reputation as "the most difficult half marathon in Kansas City," runners consistently praise the rewarding challenge and exceptional community spirit.

Prepare for typical race day conditions with historical highs around 62°F and lows around 38°F, accompanied by a 15% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. What truly sets RUN Liberty apart is the incredible runner experience. Participants can expect enthusiastic, volunteer-packed aid stations providing ample support and cheer, along with lively course entertainment in the neighborhoods. Finishers are celebrated with stunning large medals, personalized bibs, and free race photos to commemorate their achievement. The celebration continues post-race with a refreshing craft beer from 3Halves Brewing Co. and a variety of food and drinks.

Beyond the personal accomplishment, every stride at RUN Liberty makes a difference, as all proceeds benefit the Liberty Hospital Foundation's Patient Assistance Program, supporting crucial community health initiatives. With over 1,500 participants from across the country, this event is not just a race; it's a vibrant celebration of fitness, community, and philanthropy, earning its place as the largest half marathon in the Northland.
