Leawood knows how to do a race. Great energy. This is where Lucky 13 Rescue shows up so it’s very animal friendly. Located at a great shopping center with tons of nice little places to duck in and grab a bite before and after, which it seems like a great many people do. Very much a party atmosphere, and did I mention there’s a wine bar there? Did this race last year and my Gatorade froze in my beard so it was nice to do it in a long sleeve t-shirt this year.
Good gradual hill work. Nothing steep, but some long gradual climbs. Really nice medal for a 5k. Would have thought I was at a 10k and honestly I’ve done halves with medals that weren’t as nice. I nearly PRed without even trying just from talking to people as I passed them and finally catching up to some people I could pace nicely. I only slowed down at the end because my heart monitor was a little higher than my cardiologist likes while I’m recovering from a heart attack, but you can put it work here and get rewarded for it far beyond what it feels like you’re doing.
Bring more races to Leawood they know how to bring their A-game to a race.
