Organiser's Description

The Road Home race is a fundraiser for Passageways. We work with homeless veterans and help them get back on their feet and into a place of their own. We have hosted a 5K and 1-mile fun run for the last 10 years. In recent years, we added a 10K, as well.

All races will start and end at the Plum building inside Sedgwick County Park. This is a USATF-certified race, and the Timer Guys will do the timing. The routes will be posted closer to the race, as will the schedule for the day.

Passageways Road Home is a very patriotic race with flags lining a good portion of the race route. We will also have a Presentation of Colors and Singing of the National Anthem before the start of the race. Your race bib will include the name of a fallen military hero, a currently serving military member, or a veteran. During registration, you will be given the option to list a name you would like on your bib.
