We’re so excited to have you on board! But before you lace up your shoes and hit the pavement, 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 journey.

Moving to a new city can be lonely, but at Kansas Run Club (KRC), you’ll find a community that’s ready to welcome you with open arms. KRC isn’t just for “runners”—it’s for anyone who wants to find their people and make KC feel like home. From supportive high-fives to post-run hangouts, KRC brings together locals and newcomers alike, creating real connections and turning a weekly run into the highlight of your week. If you’re looking for a “third space” in KC where you can belong, KRC has you covered, one run at a time.

Joining Kansas Run Club was a leap out of my comfort zone, but it quickly became the best decision I made after moving to Kansas City. At first, I was just another nervous face in a crowd of strangers, but over time, those strangers turned into friends who greet me each week with high fives and laughter. Kansas Run Club isn’t just about the miles—it’s about the people you meet along the way, the conversations that make each run feel lighter, and the comfort of finding your place in a new city.
