RUNNING WITH FRIENDS IS BETTER

It began as a weekly jog around Kansas City, Missouri before extending the invitation to friends and then friends of friends. From there, through challenge, joy, and community, the run club kicked off.

COMMUNITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GOAL — RUNNING IS HOW WE DO IT

AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER

We’re so excited to have you on board! But before you move further, take a moment to read this special letter from Jacob Bentzinger, the founder of Kansas Run Club. It’s all about what KRC stands for and how we’re here to support you on your running (or not so running) journey.

At Kansas Run Club, it’s never been about the run. Sure, we love getting out there and moving, but what really matters is the people we meet along the way. The community we’re building isn’t just about crossing the finish line—it’s about showing up, supporting one another, and sharing in the experience. If you bring your heart to the run, we promise your feet will follow. It’s the connections, the laughter, and the encouragement that make each step worth it. Together, we’re more than just runners—we’re a community.

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE RUN
