Are you more about coffee or
cocoa? Commit to a bean and run in the
Battle of the Bean 5k, which begins at 9 a.m. at Foo's Fabulous Frozen Custard (9421 Mission, Leawood), where it also ends. All participants get a long-sleeve T-shirt (brown, of course), Roasterie coffee, Christopher Elbow chocolates and a suburban setting for this early-in-the-year race. Register (for $30 through January 18 or $35 the day of the race) at
battleofthebean5k.com.
