About the Alpha Strong 5k
The race starts at the Grandview Amphitheater, which sits just south of downtown Kansas City. Proceeds go toward a scholarship fund run by the hosting fraternity chapter, so the cause is woven into the morning rather than tacked on. It is a first-year event, which tends to mean a smaller, more personal field and organizers who are paying close attention to how everything runs.
