The Groundhog Run is the largest fundraiser for Children’s Therapeutic Learning Center (Children’s TLC), with proceeds providing early education and therapy services to hundreds of Kansas City-area children with special needs and their families. One of the longest standing runs in Kansas City, the Groundhog Run has raised more than $4.65 million since its inception in 1982. Special thanks to Groundhog Run 2017 co-chairs Sarah Pence Bloss and Keith Pence.
The 2017 Groundhog Run features a 5K and 10K race in waved starts and for the first time will include running teams from high schools. First, second and third place winners in each age group will receive plaques rather than medals. Races are sanctioned by KC Running Company.
