The Garmin Kansas City Marathon is a rolling, moderately hard course through midtown Kansas City, starting and finishing near Crown Center and the Liberty Memorial. It is USATF-certified and Boston-qualifier eligible, with a 6-hour time limit.
Why attend here
Kansas City’s October air is crisp, perfect for a 42k that winds past the Country Club Plaza’s fountains and into leafy Hyde Park, with the climb to the WWI Memorial rewarding you with a sweeping skyline view. After you cross the line, warm up with a plate of burnt ends at a local barbecue joint—this is the city that made ’cue famous—and stroll the Plaza’s tile-roofed streets as the fountains still flow in the mild autumn evenings.
