About the Gourdy's Pumpkin Run: Kansas City
This Kansas City edition of a fall running series follows a course the organizers call picture-perfect. The race draws a wide range of paces, and a portion of each entry supports Girls on the Run, a nonprofit focused on building confidence in young girls.
Apple cider is waiting at the finish line, along with a pumpkin to take home. That post-race setup gives the morning a harvest-festival feeling that suits the fall timing well.
