About the Talk 2 Me Fall4U 5K and 10K run/walk
The race is held at Shawnee Mission Park, starting near one of the park's shelter areas. The course options range from a shorter run to a longer one, so people come with different goals in mind. Talk2Me is the organization behind it, a nonprofit focused on mental health, addiction recovery, and education grants, and that purpose sits close to the surface on race morning.
