Hospital Hill Run

Runner's World magazine included the Hospital Hill Run on a list of the most daunting hills in the country. For many runners, daunting is synonymous with necessary. Sure enough, Hospital Hill sold all of its slots a few days before this year's race took place in June. Punishing inclines aren't the only enticements drawing a crowd to the starting line. Participants say the race is well-organized, and they like the goodie bag — this year's bounty consisted of a moisture-wicking shirt, shorts, socks and flip-flops. The race's organizers are using social media to ensure that their giveaways remain appealing. After the event, the Hospital Hill run Facebook page asked women if they preferred round- or V-neck T-shirts.

How did all you runners like the run/walk/ at the Kansas City Zoo this year.
I remember taking great pride in preparing the site in the 7 + years at the zoo. If you only know one thing - running
I can show you some paths to take off... this time of year we do snow removal over some 3.5 miles of public paths.
There is no better time to get a feel for the terrain than to walk it first after a light snow.
Walk before you run.
