Master  3888      Overland Park, KS |  Subject: KC 15k : Official ThreadJust Registered. Went to their FB page, got coupon code 1VAP4S15BN to get $5 off. From what I understand, you finish inside Livesrong sporting park on the jumbotron. Sounds like a nice finish. They have a 5K also AND a 3x5K relay. Given the locale, I can't imagine the course being too hilly. |

Veteran 627 Prairie Village, Kansas | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread Yeah, sounds like a good race. I am curious to see how many people show up, being this is probably the perfect tune up distance to the half or full in October here in KC. I'm hoping to race smart, make sure my pace is good for the 13.1, and give my 'nutrition plan' a final test race. I have been really happy with all the Ultramax races I have participated in. Hopefully I can add this one to that list! |

Extreme Veteran 815 Shawnee, KS | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread I was able to squeeze the 20 mile run in today, just before the rain. Perfect weather. I am really looking forward to this race, now that I dont have to run afterwords. From the email I got this week, the finishers will get etched pint glasses, and the tech shirts didnt look to bad.

Veteran 627 Prairie Village, Kansas | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread I did the Topeka Tinman race by Ultramax this summer, and got pint glass there, too, so wouldn't be surprised if that's what it was. Kinda nice and different, I suppose. The shirts were okay, too, but not the greatest tech shirts I have seen, from a materials point of view. |

Extreme Veteran 815 Shawnee, KS | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread It is looking like we will have perfect weather for the race. I haven't raced a run only event longer than a 5k since rock the parkway HM last march. I am pretty excited for this. |

The lady in charge of volunteers told me 1200-1500 runners expected. I'm picking up packet tomorrow as I'm thinking LONG lines race morning. |

Extreme Veteran 815 Shawnee, KS | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread I would assume that number includes the 1k and 5k? |

Master 3888 Overland Park, KS | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread Where'd you park? Is it on that deck right in front of LiveStong? |

Extreme Veteran 815 Shawnee, KS | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread Yeah, I parked across the street in the apple bees lot. Figured I wouldn't be there long enough to get towed. |

Extreme Veteran 815 Shawnee, KS | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread Oh yeah, I will be wearing bib 80. Have you heard anything about a bag check? Most longer races I have done usually have this for a change of clothes, etc. Edited by joncolbybohnsack 2011-09-23 4:26 PM |

Veteran 627 Prairie Village, Kansas | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread Checked in too. Not too excited about the lack of samples. And I'm not about to go use the $50 gift card to the Chateau... But whatever. See everyone there. Bib #124 |

Extreme Veteran 815 Shawnee, KS | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread Yep. Really weak bag. They will have Heed and hammer gels on the course though. Stock up out on the course. |

Extreme Veteran 815 Shawnee, KS | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread I thought it was alot of fun. It was the event's first year, and there are some improvements they should make. Overall, the course was nice, the weather was perfect, and I ran pretty well. I also got to meet Mark, his girlfriend and their dog , Reece, and his two kids who volunteered. So, it was a nice event.

Extreme Veteran 1279 | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread Thanks for the reports! Sorry I couldn't make it. But I did 8 miles Sunday on the Lake Sherwood hills at about 7:10 pace and felt great, so I am going to keep upping the mileage over the next 2 weeks, and will definitely sign up for the KC Half Marathon. See you guys there. |

Extreme Veteran 516 Olathe, KS | Subject: RE: KC 15k : Official Thread m.a.burghart - 2011-09-25 8:51 PM Race was great, no food sucked, and it was nice to meet some BTers! There was some food. They had bagels, cookies, and orange slices.In terms of swag and t-shirt, it was a little weak, but really at this stage in my racing "career" I really could care less. Most of always ends up being trash, t-shirt included. The race itself went well. No hiccups from my view point in the race itself. I hope this becomes an annual event. Rare to see a 15k road race in this area. |
