We celebrated over the weekend at the 44th annual Groundhog Run benefiting the children of Ability KC, which brough about 3,000 runners underground to SubTropolis for the most unique 5K and 10K races around. Thank you to everyone who came out to support Ability KC's mission and amazing programs!

A special thank you to the hard-working Hunt Midwest facilities and security teams for investing hundreds of hours to create a safe, secure, and fun environment for all the runners and visitors!

The 44th annual Groundhog Run was an incredible day of community and impact. Held in the Hunt Midwest SubTropolis, this unique underground event brought together participants and supporters who showed up in a big way.

A huge thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Hunt Midwest, for their continued support and partnership year after year. Alongside our many generous sponsors, volunteers, and participants, every mile completed helps support life-changing services for children at Ability KC.
