Battle of the Bean 5K Run/Walk

Packet pickup will be held on Friday afternoon, January 16 from 3-6pm at the Running Well Store at 200 E. 135th Street in Martin City. You will be able to pick up your packet and the packets of other registrants.  If you are not going to be able to join us on Saturday at the race, you can pick up your medal at packet pickup by requesting it.  We will take the leftover packets and shirts to the race on race morning beginning at 8am if you are not able to pick up your packet at packet pickup.  If you do not pick up your packet at packet pickup or at the race, we cannot guarantee that a shirt will be available in the size you selected after the race.

There is lots of room to park at the Red Bridge Shopping Center so we would ask you to park in the back parts on the lots, away from the shops at the shopping center, to allow customers of the shops and restaurants that are going to be open while we are there to park.  We want to be able to return to this shopping center in the future so please help us by parking in the back parts of the lots.

The registration fees are not refundable for any reason. If you are not able to join us you can pick up your packet at packet pickup, but they will not be sent to you, unless you registered as a virtual participant from the beginning

The charity partner is Growing Futures, an early education center/Head Start program in Johnson County, with a mission to nurture children and strengthen families to enrich our community. Though Johnson County, Kansas, is known for affluence, over 40,000 residents live below the federal poverty line—including 4,000 children under the age of five. Last school year, Growing Futures served over 200 kids. Currently, 200+ kids are sitting on Growing Futures' waitlist due to a lack of classrooms + funding.
