About the Hearts for RMHKC Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, 1 Mile Walk, & Kid's Fun Run
The race is held at English Landing Park in Parkville, benefiting the local Ronald McDonald House that serves Kansas City families. Several distance options make it work for most of the family, from a short kids' run up through longer road distances. The park setting along the river keeps the surroundings pleasant regardless of which distance you choose.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at an Orange Theory Fitness location in Parkville, then again the following midday at the park near the start. If you miss both, there is race-morning pickup at the park as well. Look for the white tent near the shelter house.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Hearts for RMHKC Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, 1 Mile Walk, & Kid's Fun Run has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
