About the Leawood Rotary Labor Day 5K

The course starts and finishes at the American Academy of Family Physicians building on Tomahawk Creek Parkway. It runs flat throughout, which makes it a course where people tend to push their pace. The race raises money for local and international charities through the Leawood Rotary.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before the race at The Running Well Store, a local running shop. If you miss that window, pickup is also available at the start on race morning. Post-race snacks and refreshments are out at the finish.

Common Questions About the Leawood Rotary Labor Day 5K

Will I finish last at the Leawood Rotary Labor Day 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 33:23, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:51, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Leawood Rotary Labor Day 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 301 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Leawood Rotary Labor Day 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:49 while the median finisher took 33:23. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
