RUNNING CLUB

Our mission is to meet the needs of beginning, casual and competitive runners in and around KC; to be a fun, social outlet for the running community; and to have a positive impact from a philanthropic standpoint... Founded in 1976 by David Biersmith, Jim McAllister, Jack H Whitaker, and Jimmy Lee Burgess, The Kansas City Running Club has been a cornerstone of running in Kansas City. After visiting Boston and seeing the work of the BAA (Boston Athletic Association) and the success of their group, David and friends decided to start a running club in Kansas City.
